What is recorded here

Friar's Quay on Lusty More Island holds the buried remains of a medieval monastery, a graveyard and a carved stone figure. The quay name suggests monks loaded fish, tools or prayer books onto small boats, while the carved figure watched the water like a quiet guard. Both religious devotion and ordinary labour likely met at this edge, leaving behind a place where faith, trade and memory still touch the shoreline.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MONASTERY (site of); GRAVEYARD and CARVED STONE FIGURE: FRIAR'S QUAY. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; POST-MED; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Medieval monastery site with a graveyard and a carved stone figure, likely dating to the late medieval period. Its significance lies in its association with religious activity and possible links to early Christian or monastic settlement on Lusty More Island.
