What is recorded here
Knocklishen Beg holds two small plain granite crosses and a basin bullaun inside a graveyard, marking a place where prayer, memory and perhaps older water rituals still share the same ground. The crosses are modest, but they give the site a clear Christian shape, while the worn basin suggests people once believed the stone could hold, mark or transform life in some way. Together they remind us that holy places are often layered, with newer faith sitting beside older habits and dead names buried beneath living memory.
Two small plain granite crosses (CW004-005003- and CW004-005004-) and a single basin bullaun (CW004-005005-) present in graveyard (CW004-005002-).
