What is recorded here

Dovan and Nun's Well in Lismacloskey, County Antrim, has served as a church, graveyard and well across uncertain, early medieval and modern periods. The site has stayed active through centuries because water, burial and worship still matter to the people who return it. The names suggest nuns and a man called Dovan, yet the facts leave that relationship open. A place keeps remembering long after the people who shaped it have gone quiet.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPERIOD CHURCH & GRAVEYARD & WELL: DOVAN & NUN'S WELL. Recorded period: MODERN; UNCERTAIN; E.C./MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
