What is recorded here
Broom-Beg in County Antrim holds a forgotten structure, possibly a church, now unlocated despite its official map point. The uncertainty transforms it into a living phantom, a place where memory itself becomes the architecture. Perhaps it stood where grass grows thick, or perhaps it never existed at all, only in the minds of those who first imagined it. Either way, the beg keeps its secret, waiting for someone foolish enough to listen.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STRUCTURE; POSSIBLY CHURCH (may be Ant 008 027; OS memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
