Visit Notes

Sunday, 28th July 2002 CE	Prev Site	Next Site
This is a sweet little church notable for a few things. There is a nice Romanesque window, two carved capitals and a heavily lintelled, square doorway. In the grave yard there is a large shrine-tomb - the tomb of a saint in the shape of a house - that is 1.9m tall and 3m x 1.6m in plan. This has a steeply pitched roof. There is no hole for reaching in and touching the saints bones in this one. At the east end of the yard is a plane cross and beyond that (actually moved in front of a nearby barn at the time of this visit) is a bullaun stone with one large and one shallow bullaun cup.
