What is recorded here

Killygatan in Listooder holds a buried church, a graveyard and a cross carved in stone, marking continuous Christian life from the medieval period to the modern day. The cross still stands amid grass and forgotten graves, witnessing seasons of prayer, burial and neglect. Its sharp edges and weathered surface suggest hands that chiselled faith into stone before the church itself disappeared beneath the earth.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH SITE, GRAVEYARD & CROSS CARVED STONE: KILLYGARTAN. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL; MODERN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Medieval Christian church site with a carved cross stone, likely dating to the early medieval period. Its significance lies in its association with early ecclesiastical activity and the preservation of a carved stone, reflecting the region's Christian heritage.
