What is recorded here

Ernaide in Urney Glebe is a scheduled monastery, church, graveyard and cross-carved stone stretching from early Christian times through the post-medieval period. The name resists easy spelling, appearing as Ernaide, Ernaidhe or Irnaide, while the stones remain fixed in County Tyrone. A cross carved into local rock suggests prayer, warning or ownership, though the chisel-work no longer explains itself. People may have buried their dead beside that marker, watched the glebe fields from the church, or simply passed a place already familiar. The resistance in the name and the patience of the stone both refuse to hand over every detail.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MONASTERY; CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; CROSS-CARVED STONE: ERNAIDE or ERNAIDHE or IRNAIDE. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; E.CHRIST.; POST-MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
