What is recorded here
YWES in Toberdowney is a post-medieval church and graveyard in County Antrim, marked by an enclosure, a well and a man-made underground passage. The passage may have been a hiding place, a water channel or a prayer path, but no clear account survives to choose between them. The church and graveyard suggest that people kept returning to this spot long after the first stones were set.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as POST-MED. CHURCH & GRAVEYARD; with reported ENCLOSURE; WELL & Man-made underground passage: YWES. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; 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.
