MULTIPERIOD CHURCH SITE & GRAVEYARD: LURGAN or SHANKILL in Shankill

MULTIPERIOD CHURCH SITE & GRAVEYARD: LURGAN or SHANKILL

What is recorded here

Mortars and bones from several centuries lie mixed beneath the soil, refusing to separate into neat dates. The church and graveyard served Lurgan or Shankill across the late medieval and post-medieval periods, yet the exact identity still escapes definition. Layers of worship and death compressed into one shallow place, waiting for someone patient enough to read them without forcing them into a single story.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPERIOD CHURCH SITE & GRAVEYARD: LURGAN or SHANKILL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; LATE-MED; POST-MED. 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.
