What is recorded here
Killyowen in Cross holds a buried church, graveyard and man-made passage, waiting beneath the soil of County Antrim. The names suggest worship, death and hidden movement, while the missing dates preserve the mystery rather than solve it. People may have prayed above, mourned beside and crawled through below, binding ordinary life to an underground chamber still absent from memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; KILLEEN; Man-made underground passage: KILLYOWEN. Recorded period: 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.
