This ancient monastic site is built inside a hill fort that is said to have been given to St. Colmcille to build his monastery in.
The remains today consist of a graveyard, the foundations of an early church and a small chapel-like church. There are also two crosses and a holy well (see sub-sites). A large stone plaque shows details of the pattern stages around the complex. The upper cross is now unaccessible, because the farmer has erected a fence just outside the graveyard that blocks the way to it.
There is a good sized car park that makes a great place to stop for lunch and enjoy the views across the valley below.
