MODERN CHURCH ON SITE OF MEDIEVAL CHURCH: DONAGHADEE in Donaghadee — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Donaghadee holds a modern church built directly above a medieval foundation, linking both eras in one stone footprint. The town stands in County Down, Ireland, where new worship rose on old ground rather than beside it. That layering suggests continuity more than replacement, as if the community chose to keep praying inside the same forgotten shape instead of abandoning it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MODERN CHURCH ON SITE OF MEDIEVAL CHURCH: DONAGHADEE. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; MODERN. 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.
