KNOCKANS: MONASTERY SITE (?) in Knockans (possible)

KNOCKANS: MONASTERY SITE (?)

What is recorded here

Knockans may have hidden a monastery, though no firm date or owner is certain. The doubt itself belongs to the place, leaving room for prayer, forgetting and reinvention. A person could have knelt there, named the rocks, then vanished into the wider world.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as KNOCKANS: MONASTERY SITE (?). 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.
