What is recorded here

Killylone or Shankill in Magheralone held a medieval church and graveyard where local people likely prayed, buried their dead and marked the passage of generations. The exact date and layout have faded, but the distinction between a worship place and a burial ground remains clear in the name. That much of the region once depended on such small religious centres is written in the land itself.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: KILLYLONE or SHANKILL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Medieval church and graveyard; dates to the medieval period. Its significance lies in its potential association with early Christian settlement and ecclesiastical activity in the region.
