Visit Notes

Sunday, 14th July 2002

Cemented into the blocked up doorway of the crazily windowed tower are two beautiful cross slabs.

As soon as I saw the one (with a Clonmacnoise style cross, incription and a fish) I knew that I had seen it before in Anthony Weir's Field Guide and felt a little silly having found them by accident instead of planning to visit these lovely items.

The second slab shows an equally intricate cross and an inscription. These are two of the nicest slabs I have seen yet and I would recommend them to anyone interested in this area.
