What is recorded here
Stone-lined graves and a cross-carved marker still belong to Wateresk, though no exact point remains named. The graveyard may have served ordinary people before memory faded, its borders forgotten while the stones resisted erasure. Whatever life moved through that place, it left behind a clear act of care: dead bodies handled, graves shaped, and a cross cut for someone to read.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD with STONE-LINED GRAVES & CROSS-CARVED STONE (unlocated). Recorded period: 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.
