Visit Notes

Saturday, 27th October 2007

This roofless church is nothing special, but it does mark the site of a monastic settlement established in the 6th Century. Of interest is a small slab cemented into the west wall, just to one side of the door. This has an unusual picture carved on it and an inscription in old Irish.
