What is recorded here
No visible ruin remains, only a hidden medieval church buried beneath ordinary ground. That absence is not emptiness; it is a reminder that human life still occurs around the place even when the building has vanished. The land may still carry the shape of old prayer, waiting for someone to notice the difference between forgetting and losing.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH SITE (unlocated). Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. 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.
