What is recorded here
St. Peter's Leper Hospital stood in Glebe during the late medieval period, providing refuge for people excluded by fear and disease. The name Spitalfield still echoes that purpose, marking ground where suffering was met with shelter rather than abandonment.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOSPITAL (site of): ST. PETER'S LEPER HOSPITAL; SPITALFIELD. Recorded period: LATE-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.
