What is recorded here
CLUAIN DA FHIACH in Ardmore, County Derry, still holds the ruined bones of a medieval parish church beside a modern worship hall and graveyard. The old walls may have collapsed during the POST-MED period, yet the land kept serving the community without breaking its continuity. People may have walked past the same stones for generations, carrying prayers from one era into the next.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL PARISH CHURCH (in ruins), MODERN CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: CLUAIN DA FHIACH. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval parish church, dating to the Late Medieval period, with a modern church and graveyard on the same site. The location, Cluain da Fhiach, suggests a long-standing religious and community significance in the Ardmore area.
