The inside of the church. The altar can be seen at the end of the chancel.


This church dates from the 12th century, but was modified in the 13th century and in the 15th century, when a massive tower was added to the church above the chancel. The room at the upper floor is reached by a long staircase.

Not far from the church is a truncated round tower. It has a square base, that is unusual, and the only other kind of not round base is the round tower in Kinneigh.

Along with a holy well, these three monuments mark the monastic site dedicated to St. Brennain.
