Banagher Church, Londonderry
Banagher Church is a ruined mediæval church in the civil parish of Banagher, County Londonderry. The church consists of a 12th-century nave and a chancel added around 1210. The site is associated with and reputedly founded by St Muiredhach O'Heany. South-west of the chancel is a small mortuary house, traditionally St Muiredach’s burial place. East of the church is a simple stone cross and a bullaun stone (outside the graveyard wall). A second cross stands across the road. The church was abandoned in the 17th century. The monument is in the care of the Department for Communities. The monument is within the council area of Causeway Coast and Glens.
