What is recorded here
Glenarm holds a buried church and graveyard where worship once anchored the valley. The exact age remains uncertain, but the shape of the place is clear: a sacred centre, a gathering point, a boundary between the living and the dead. People may have prayed there, buried their own, and left the site to rain, grass and time. What is missing is not emptiness; it is the part of life that stopped repeating.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH SITE & GRAVEYARD. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
