Whilst the current Drumagarner Chapel building might be ‘modern’, Drumagarner Church is certainly an old church. We need look no further that this extract from Kernohan’s book:
“When stock was taken of the Church property in 1622, there were two churches in our parishes – Tamlaght and Kilrea. The Pope Nicholas taxation of 1306 shows there was another church and parish – Dromogarnan – that was subsequently merged into Tamlaght. The site of the church was probably on the ridge of Drumagarner, called Church Hill, on Hutchinson’s farm, where there had been a forgotten burial ground, and where a baptismal font was unearthed.”
