What is recorded here
Donaci is a medieval and post-medieval church and graveyard in County Antrim, preserved under two names because human memory bent the place rather than inventing it. The graveyard implies generations walked past its boundary, buried their dead there, and left the church standing long enough for the land to remember the shape of worship. Dunaghy may be the name the people used, while Donaci is the name the distance kept.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL & POST-MED. CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: DUNAGHY or DONACI. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
