Visit Notes

Sunday, 6th July 2003

The ruins of this church are not at all noteworthy. The graveyard is quite interesting though, because the graves form an almost continuous carpet of flagstones upon which you have to walk to get anywhere. There are also a large amount of very crude crosses cut from slabs of slate or shale marking some of the graves. Well worth stopping by to have a look if you're on you way to Rusheen East (County Mayo).
