What is recorded here
Glynn Old Church stands in ruins among County Antrim grass, preserving a medieval parish and graveyard now marked as scheduled. Stone edges still break through soil where people once gathered for prayer, burial and ordinary life. The name Glynn, Glyne or Glenn Indechta carries that old community into the present, while the broken structure waits for memory rather than explanation.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL PARISH CHURCH (in ruins); GRAVEYARD: GLYNN OLD CHURCH or GLYNE or GLENN INDECHTA. Recorded period: 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 parish church and graveyard, dating to the Medieval and Late Medieval periods. The site is significant as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, indicating its archaeological and historical importance in the region.
