Church

The church is rectangular, with the roof absent. The west wall has a central doorway with rounded arch. The antae at the corners of the west wall have been partly rebuilt.[5] Many of the stones bear horseshoe-shaped mason's marks.
Around is an early ecclesiastical enclosure. A bullaun is nearby.[6]
