What is recorded here
A modern church stands above an earlier medieval site in Ardglass, County Down. Its foundation is a collision of centuries, with new worship built directly upon old forgotten prayer. The building is a living archive, forcing the present to acknowledge the depth of the earth beneath it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MODERN CHURCH ON EARLIER SITE. Recorded period: MODERN; MEDIEVAL. 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.
