What is recorded here
Cloncolmoe in Old Forge held a church, graveyard and bullaun from the early Christian or medieval period, marking the area as a settled worship and burial place long before modern boundaries. The name suggests a continuous human relationship with the land, where prayer, death and memory shared one small landscape. Whatever remains buried there still belongs to the living imagination of County Antrim.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH (site of), GRAVEYARD & BULLAUN: CLONCOLMOE. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval church site and graveyard with a bullaun stone; associated with early Christian religious activity in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
