What is recorded here
Moygarriff holds a church shadow, graveyard, standing stone and well, though no human date is certain. The stone may have watched before Christianity arrived, while the well and graves suggest people kept returning to the same water and soil. Whatever the church lacked in proof, the combination still marks a place where life, death and memory repeated themselves.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH SITE?, GRAVEYARD, STANDING STONE & WELL. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; 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.
