What is recorded here
Drumlyn hides an unlocated medieval church inside Ballyroney, County Down. Its exact position has been lost, but the name still points to a place where people gathered to pray, bury their dead and mark the shape of their world. The land may have swallowed the building while memory kept the name alive.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible CHURCH site: DRUMLYN (unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; MEDIEVAL. 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.
