What is recorded here
St. Aidan’s, Cell Mor, Cell Mor Ui Niallain and MonyMcMorierty mark one continuous worship site in Kilmore, County Armagh, stretching from Early Christian times to the modern day. Layers of belief, burial and rebuilding crossed the same ground, suggesting people kept returning because the place already held meaning. The names preserve a living memory of devotion rather than a single forgotten event.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPERIOD CHURCH SITE & GRAVEYARD, Early Christian-Modern: ST. AIDAN'S, CELL MOR, CELL MOR UI NIALLAIN & MONYMcMORIERTY. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MODERN; MED/L.MED; POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Early Christian monastic site and medieval to modern graveyard; associated with multiple ecclesiastical traditions including St. Aidan's, reflecting long-term religious significance in the Kilmore area.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
