What is recorded here
Walter de Logan built his town and church in County Antrim during the high medieval period, claiming the land as Terra Walteride Logan. The graveyard beside that church held the bones of everyone he governed, from frightened tenants to proud soldiers. Walter himself may have rot in that same soil, his grand name forgotten while the dead beneath his feet remembered every order he gave.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL CHURCH & GRAVEYARD (site of): WALTER DE LOGAN'S TOWN, TERRA WALTERIDE LOGAN. Recorded period: MED/L.MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval church and graveyard; 13th–15th century. The site is historically significant as Walter de Logan was a prominent Anglo-Norman settler in Ireland, and the location reflects early medieval ecclesiastical activity in the Ballywalter area.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
