What is recorded here

Achочill in Carmacmoin was a living church and mass site from the middle ages through the eighteenth century, now buried beneath a modern graveyard. St. Colmanellus of Atholrill gave the place its name and purpose, drawing people across generations to pray beside what is now only grass and silence. The dead likely walked past the altar before the altar disappeared, their footsteps erased but their faith still pressed into the soil.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH SITE (in modern graveyard) & MASS SITE: ST. COLMANELLUS OF ATHOLRILL, ST. COLMANELL'S or ACHOCHILL. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; C18TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
