CHURCH or GRAVEYARD & BULLAUN: DRUMMAUL or DROMMAULE or SANCTAE BRIGIDAE DE DRUIMAULA

What is recorded here

Sanctae Brigidae de Druimaula marked a medieval Christian anchor in County Antrim, pairing a worship site with a bullaun and graveyard. The name suggests Brigid herself lent her authority to the ridge, while the hollowed stone may have collected rain for baptism, drinking or mercy. People likely returned across generations because the place connected the living, the dead and the goddess-like saint in one small landscape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH or GRAVEYARD & BULLAUN: DRUMMAUL or DROMMAULE or SANCTAE BRIGIDAE DE DRUIMAULA. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; MODERN; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval ecclesiastical site, possibly associated with St. Brigid, with a bullaun stone; significant for its potential links to early Christian worship and local saintly cults in Ireland.
