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. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval Christian church and graveyard with a cross-carved stone, likely dating to the 7th–12th century. The site reflects early Christian settlement and ecclesiastical activity in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
