What is recorded here
Carnrawsie Church and graveyard occupy a post-medieval site in County Antrim, yet the exact period remains uncertain. The name shifts between Carnrawsy, Rassie and Carntawsy, suggesting oral tradition changed before written record. A church, graveyard and enclosure once marked the land, but no standing wall or dated event survives in the provided facts.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH (site of); GRAVEYARD & ENCLOSURE: CARNRAWSIE or CARNRAWSY or CARNRAWSIE CHURCH or CARNRAWSY CHURCH or RASSIE or CARNTAWSY. Recorded period: POST-MED; 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.
