Extremely atmospheric graveyard with three ruined churches standing in the large graveyard overlooking the lake.

The earliest recorded reference is to a parish church here in 1302, with the middle Church being the oldest, probably of the 13th century.

The MacCartans had one of their chief seats near the lake and this was probably their principal burial ground.
