The Rhellick, Killeen is an uncertain graveyard located in Limavady, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The site presents evidence of multiple occupation periods, with potential associations to a cashel (an Irish stone-built fort) and a souterrain (an underground stone-built passage), though these features remain archaeologically uncertain. The graveyard itself likely represents Christian burial activity, possibly extending across the medieval period, though the precise dating and extent of use require further investigation. The complexity of features at this location reflects the palimpsest of settlement and ritual use typical of many Irish archaeological sites, where pre-Christian and Christian occupation phases frequently overlap.
