Visit Notes

Sunday, 26th May 2002

With the grass and other vegetation so high at the moment this is perhaps not the best time of year to visit this site. The ruins of the church are totally invisible and the bullaun very well hidden.

The bullaun stone is at the west end of the ruins, which are only denoted by a small group of trees at the road side. It is a very rough stone and the bullaun too is very rough.

Directions

From Enniskerry take the R760 south and then the R755 south. After about 2km turn right and pass to the south of the Great Sugar Loaf Mountain. Continue until you come to a left hand turn just after a sharp right bend. Park here. In front of you there is a gate and beyond that a copse of trees. The bullaun stone is in the center of this copse about 10m from the road.
