What is recorded here

Maughery Church stood in County Armagh during the late medieval period, serving as a worship and burial place before disappearing from ordinary sight. The graveyard marker preserves the shape of that lost building, while the absence of the structure invites imagination about the people who prayed, buried their dead and stopped coming. What remains is a quiet gap in the landscape, holding more memory than wood, stone or mortar.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL CHURCH & GRAVEYARD (site of): MAUGHERY CHURCH. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; POST-MED; LATE-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
