What is recorded here
St. Patrick's in Coleraine has been a sacred place since early Christian times, with a post-medieval church and graveyard still standing beside the older monastic ground. The site has witnessed centuries of prayer, burial and community life in County Derry. What remains is not a ruined curiosity but a living layer of faith, where medieval stone and earlier Christian memory continue to shape the town's identity.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as EARLY MONASTIC SITE & POST-MED. CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: ST. PATRICK'S. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
