The north church is boring and late. The south church is 7th or 8th century with ante and a fabulous 'megalithic looking' doorway. The north church is aligned east to west, but the southern one is aligned to the Galtee Mountains to the north-east, which from here look like a recumbent female!
The two churches are in an enclosure (again showing the age of the site) formed by a 1.5m high stone wall.
Early reports of six cursing stones inside the north church proved to be out of date, but they are on the site .... somewhere.

_A little theory: I think the stones used to make the doorway of the 7th Century church may have originated in the avenue (now a 4-poster stone circle) on the hillside above.
