What is recorded here
Ballycastle and Drumavoley hold a graveyard and man-made underground passage, though no exact date or event is recorded. The chamber may have served worship, burial or concealment, while the graves above marked repeated human return to the same ground.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD & Man-made underground passage. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. 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.
