What is recorded here
Killygony Old Graveyard in Glasdrumman layers a prehistoric court tomb, ancient cists and a later graveyard into one scheduled site. The name Killeen may still hide inside the larger place, preserving a small churchland memory beneath centuries of burial. People have returned to this ground across uncertain ages, trusting the same soil to hold what life lets go.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD (possibly Killeen) WITH COURT TOMB & CISTS: KILLYGONY OLD GRAVEYARD. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC; MEDIEVAL; MODERN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Court tomb with cists, likely Neolithic in origin, situated within an old graveyard. Its inclusion in scheduled protection indicates archaeological significance.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
