What is recorded here
Cranfield Church stands in ruins on the northern shore of Lough Neagh, a thirteenth-century stone shell tied to the memory of Olcán. Tradition claims the saint blessed the nearby well with healing water, inviting weary travellers to drink before continuing their journey. The Dál Riata once held this place in high regard, yet shifting powers stripped the church of its lands and left behind only quiet stones.
Cranfield Church is recorded as a archaeological place in County Antrim. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
