What is recorded here
Oxford Island, Kilwilke Glebe, Enachloisgy in Annaloist, County Armagh, Ireland, holds a multiperiod church site and graveyard where medieval, late medieval and uncertain layers still lie beneath the soil. The names suggest a place where worship, burial and memory continued long after any single building fell quiet. People may have returned across generations to mark loss, celebrate festivals or simply orient themselves on the island, carrying forward a life the stones no longer display.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPERIOD CHURCH SITE & GRAVEYARD: OXFORD ISLAND, KILWILKE GLEBE, ENACHLOISGY. Recorded period: POST-MED; MED/L.MED; UNCERTAIN. 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.
