What is recorded here
Killyglen held a medieval church and graveyard before modern roads redrawn the county. Stone walls may have fallen, but the graveyard kept its shape, marking deaths and prayers long before written records arrived. The land still carries that old rhythm, even when no tower remains to point toward it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL CHURCH; GRAVEYARD. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; MED/L.MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval ecclesiastical site and graveyard; dates to the Middle Ages. Its scheduled protection status indicates archaeological or historical importance, though specific wider significance is not detailed in the record.
