What is recorded here

Brokenbury, perhaps, or Brakenberg: a medieval church and graveyard buried beneath South West Ballycarry. The name itself is a fracture, three versions competing for the same ground. Under the soil lies a building that held prayers and a field that held the dead, both forgotten long enough to become a coordinate instead of a shape.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL CHURCH & GRAVEYARD (site of): BRAKENBERGHE or BROKENBURY or BRAKENBERG. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Medieval ecclesiastical site; dates to the Middle Ages. Its significance lies in reflecting early Christian settlement and burial practices in the region.
