What is recorded here
Friar's Glen, Stoney Glen, Tobergal and the priest's house cluster beneath a buried church and holy well in County Antrim. The glen names suggest mendicant movement, rocky terrain and water drawn for grace rather than drink alone. A mound still marks the prayer site, waiting for boots, rain and memory to finish what stone forgot.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH (site of), GRAVEYARD HOLY WELL & MOUND: FRIAR'S GLEN, STONEY GLEN, TOBERGAL, PRIEST'S HOUSE. 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.
