What is recorded here
Drummenagh Beg holds a graveyard and tower born after the medieval era, marking the hill where local faith and death became visible. The post-medieval date suggests a community busy enough to build stone and bury its dead repeatedly. People may have climbed the hill for prayer, watched the valley from the tower, or carried a coffin across soil already worn smooth by footsteps.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD & TOWER: CHURCH HILL. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
