What is recorded here

Kilconriola, Kilkmareely or Kilknamreely in County Antrim holds a medieval church, graveyard, underground passage and cross-carved stone. The names still tangle, but the stones remain clear: a worship place, a burial ground and a hidden cutting through earth. People may have prayed above, mourned beside and crawled beneath, binding heaven, death and secrecy in one small landscape.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; GRAVEYARD; Man-made underground passage; CROSS-CARVED STONE: KILCONRIOLA or KILKMAREELY or KILKNAMREELY.
