What is recorded here
Dal Riata's saviours built Connor before modern memory, layering monastery, cathedral and graveyard into one living body. The cross still marks the place where prayer, death and power crossed. What is certain is that the site remained worth protecting long after the hands that shaped it disappeared.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MONASTERY; CHURCH; CATHEDRAL; GRAVEYARD; CROSS: ST. SAVIOUR'S or SEE OF DAL RIATA. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MODERN; UNCERTAIN; 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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
