EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: KILCRUE in Turraloskin

EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: KILCRUE

What is recorded here

Kilcrue in Turraloskin, County Antrim, holds an early Christian church and graveyard where stone and soil still mark the edge of forgotten prayer. The name itself hints at a small crowd gathered before written history, laying dead to earth and waiting for rain. That much is record; the rest is imagination, but a useful one.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: KILCRUE. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Early Christian church and graveyard, likely 6th to 10th century AD. Kilcrue may indicate a holy well or sacred site associated with early monastic activity in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
