What is recorded here
Killuca still cuts through the Antrim earth beside the Killeen graveyard, a man-made throat swallowing light and dropping into uncertainty. The passage may have served the living, the dead, or both at once, while the killeen marked the boundary between worlds. People walked past graves and into darkness, trusting the hole to return them changed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD (Killeen) & Man-made underground passage: KILLUCA. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. 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.
