What is recorded here
Cuile Raithin, a Dominican priory in County Derry, rose during the medieval period to anchor faith in Coleraine and its suburbs. Monks likely walked cloisters now buried beneath grass, praying until conflict or change scattered them. The name Cuile Raithin still echoes beside Coleraine, preserving a house of worship that time half-erased.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as DOMINICAN PRIORY: CUILE RAITHIN. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; 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.
