What is recorded here
Churchtown in Tullynure, County Derry, is a post-medieval settlement where human life clustered around faith and survival. The name suggests a church anchored the town, yet no building remains visible to judge whether it was grand or modest. People likely gathered there for prayer, trade and marriage before the land absorbed their footsteps. What is certain is that the settlement existed, was named, and was forgotten enough to require mapping again.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Churchtown. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
