Killelagh church is a post-medieval ecclesiastical site located in Magherafelt, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a church structure, associated graveyard, and two bullauns, which are stone basins of probable prehistoric or early medieval origin reused within the later ecclesiastical landscape. The presence of these bullauns suggests continuity of sacred site usage across different periods, a characteristic feature of many Irish churchyards where earlier ritual stones were incorporated into Christian burial grounds. The post-medieval church and its attendant monuments reflect the religious practices and settlement patterns of the early modern period in this region of Ulster.
