What is recorded here
Down Survey cartographers marked the ruined church, weir and cabin before modern memory faded. The rectangular church still stands atop a ridge inside a D-shaped graveyard, its grass-covered walls enclosing post-1700 memorials. The eastern stile invites entry into a place where stone, death and continuity remain visibly tangled.
