What is recorded here

Drumnadergal marked a Christian gathering place before Norman arrival, preserving a medieval graveyard where local lives ended and memory continued. The name still points to a church that no longer stands, yet the buried shape of that community remains beneath Dunadry. People may have prayed there, mourned there and shaped the neighbourhood around its ritual centre.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Pre-Norman & Medieval CHURCH & GRAVEYARD (site of): DRUMNADERGAL. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Pre-Norman and medieval Christian church and graveyard; dates to the early Christian to medieval period (c. 5th–12th century). Its significance lies in its potential association with early monastic or ecclesiastical activity in the Dunadry area.
