What is recorded here
Gervaghkerin stands in County Tyrone as a church and graveyard marked from the medieval through post-medieval periods. Its four names repeat like a chant, forcing the tongue to remember what the stones already know. People may have gathered there to pray, bury and belong, while the land kept their shapes hidden beneath grass. The place still holds that rhythm, waiting for someone to listen before speaking.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: GERVAGHKERIN, GERVAGH-KERIN, GARVAGHKEIRINN or SCAIRB AN CIOTHRAINN. Recorded period: POST-MED; MED/L.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.
