What is recorded here
Ilamagee Ballyprior, also called Islandmagee or Ransevyn, was the local church and graveyard where generations were baptised, married and buried. The site has belonged to human memory since the medieval period and still anchors the identity of Ballyprior More. Its many names suggest a place spoken about often enough for identity to shift like tide water.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH (site of) & GRAVEYARD: BALLYPRIOR, ILAMAGEE BALLYPRIOR ALIAS ISLANDMAGEE, BALLYPRIOR ALIAS ILAMAGEE or RANSEVYN. Recorded period: POST-MED; MODERN; MED/L.MED. 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.
