Well, when you come here you can play hunt the round tower! The site is very ruined and the round tower remains are just 1.3m above ground level, although it does drop to a depth of 2.5m inside. The best feature of the tower is the amazingly worn and eroded door sill - from this it would appear that the door was at ground level, a most unusual feature.
In the grave yard there is a very worn square cross base and judging from the 30cm square socket must have held a mighty cross at one time.
The most interesting feature of the site for me are actually the remains of a bivalite embankment that surrounds the settlement.
