GRAVEYARD WITH CROSS-INSCRIBED PILLAR STONE in Legananny

GRAVEYARD WITH CROSS-INSCRIBED PILLAR STONE

What is recorded here

Death itself seems to have carved that cross, not a man. The graveyard in Legananny stands scheduled and uncertain in age, yet the pillar stone repeats a shape so deliberate it bypasses human intention. Whatever lived there understood the end before it began.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD WITH CROSS-INSCRIBED PILLAR STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Early Christian graveyard with a cross-inscribed pillar stone, likely dating to the 7th–10th century AD. The site is significant for its carved stone and as a rare surviving example of a medieval Christian burial ground in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
