Levallieglish, Loughgall is a multi-period church site and graveyard located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The monument represents an early Christian ecclesiastical settlement whose origins and development span several centuries. The site sits upon bedrock of the Armagh Group, a Visean-age formation of interbedded limestone, argillaceous rocks and subordinate sandstone that characterises the underlying geology of this region.
The church and associated burial ground occupy a significant position within the landscape of early Christian settlement in Ulster. Such sites typically served as focal points for Christian communities, combining spiritual and social functions within their immediate hinterland. The survival of both structural remains and the graveyard indicates continuity of use and occupation across the early medieval period.
The monument is protected by the Historic Environment Division under reference 5232, recognising its importance to the archaeological and ecclesiastical heritage of the area. The multi-period character of Levallieglish reflects the long-term significance of the site as a place of worship and burial, contributing to understanding of Christian settlement patterns and religious practice in early medieval Armagh.
