This little church is a delight. Just for its location alone it is lovely, nestled in a sleepy little hollow, hidden from the world. Situated at the east end are two battered tomb shrines, one nest to the south east corner and a smaller one just over the field wall. These are both triangular in section and resemble tents and are probably much older than the church itself. The larger one of these is the Bed of St. Cronan and would have once contained his bones, making this site a place of pilgramage, and hence the building of the church.
The original door in the east wall has been blocked up, but its typical sloping sides and large lintel are clearly visible. Around the outside are some lovely Romanesque corbels of heads and beasties and the inside of the east window is also decorated with some beads.
