The Department's description

Exterior description and setting

This site was surveyed in the First Survey but not listed. Only a Partial Survey was taken during the Second Survey as it is not of sufficient interest to warrant a full Second Survey.

Roughly rectangular graveyard of possible medieval date. The NI Sites and Monuments Record reads: 'In the graveyard of this site are foundations of a rectangular church, 45ft x 20ft. These may be remains of the medieval parish church which was known as Maghernelec & Kylpatrick. It is not mentioned in pre-Norman written sources but the existence of an erenagh in the Middle Ages suggests a pre-Norman foundation. The graveyard is well kept, with 2 masonry vaults.'
