    In the graveyard, there is a large standing stone, leaning precariously, which was christianised during the seventh century with a Maltese Cross – a four-petaled tulip design, enclosed by a double circle.
    There is one other stone with a Cross Slab.

    On the sign it says "Leachtanna" - Leacht cuimhne (plur. Leachtanna cuimhne) - the name is derived from the Irish 'leacht' meaning a grave, cairn or monument and 'cuimhne' meaning a commemoration or a memorial.

      Directly opposite is Melody's Café. Be sure to try the home-made Snickers.
