What is recorded here

Templemoyle in Galgorm Parks still holds a graveyard, an underground passage, a holy well and two standing stones, though human memory has blurred when each part appeared. The stones may have watched early life, the well may have given water in exchange for silence, and the passage may have swallowed light during storms. People probably moved through this small complex for centuries, trusting that the dead, the living and the water belonged to one another.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD; Man-made underground passage; HOLY WELL; 2 STANDING STONES: TEMPLEMOYLE (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; E.CHRIST.; 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.
