What is recorded here
Glebe in County Tyrone held a church and graveyard before Norman arrival, meaning local faith predates English conquest. The ground likely marked birth, death and seasonal prayer for centuries, while ordinary people forgot the names of those buried there.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PRE-NORMAN & MEDIEVAL CHURCH & GRAVEYARD. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Pre-Norman and medieval church and graveyard; early Christian to late medieval period. This site represents a significant ecclesiastical and burial complex, reflecting the continuity of religious practice in the region during the early medieval period.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
