With a cross slab found in the graveyard dating to the 8th-10th centuries, this site has clearly been of religious importance for a significant period of time. There was definitely a church here in the 13th century and some parts of this medieval structure can still be found here today. Much of the building you see now is newer – 18th century onwards.
