CHURCH (SITE OF) & GRAVEYARD: CELL CONADAIN in Saint Cunning

CHURCH (SITE OF) & GRAVEYARD: CELL CONADAIN

What is recorded here

Cell Conadain marks a lost church and graveyard in Saint Cunning, preserving a medieval place where people worshipped and buried their dead. The name suggests a small Christian cell rather than a grand cathedral, likely serving a narrow valley or neighbouring townland. Its scheduled status recognises that the ground still holds the shape of that life, even when the building has vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH (SITE OF) & GRAVEYARD: CELL CONADAIN. Recorded period: MED/L.MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval monastic site and graveyard, likely 7th–12th century. It is significant as a religious and burial site associated with early Christian settlement in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
