What is recorded here

Ballymoyer Old Church stands scheduled in Ballintemple, preserving a post-medieval worship place and graveyard whose origins stretch to the uncertain eighteenth century. The site still holds the shape of repeated prayer, burial and memory, even when the exact building has vanished from sight. People may have gathered there for baptism, marriage and mourning long before modern roads passed the field.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as POST-MED CHURCH; GRAVEYARD: BALLYMOYER OLD CHURCH or LISDROMAUDE. Recorded period: POST-MED; UNCERTAIN; C18TH. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
