What is recorded here
Five wells still wet the grass where Termon Rock stands, feeding a church and two graveyards that have watched Carrickmore since early Christian times. The cross-carved stone marks the place as Termon Conyn or Tearmann Comain, a boundary drawn in rock rather than ink. People may have drunk from those wells during fever or festival, trusting the water to carry them through what flesh alone could not bear.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; 2 GRAVEYARDS; 5 WELLS & CROSS-CARVED STONE: TERMON ROCK or TERMON-CONYN or TERMON CUMAINIG or TEARMANN COMAIN. Recorded period: POST-MED; MED/L.MED; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Early Christian church site with medieval and post-medieval graveyards, wells, and a cross-carved stone; significant for its religious and community use over multiple centuries.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
