A monastry was founded by St. Columcille here in 574 AD. The visible remains of the monastic site are the High Cross, the Round Tower and the plain Cross shaft. The carvings on the cross depict biblical scenes including Adam and Eve, Daniel in the lions den, the crucifixion and Christ in majesty on the Day of Judgement.
