A stunning collection of early Christian crosses and cross slabs n Co. Carlow, plus more dotted about the area including large multiple Bullaun, Ogham stone and more.

There is a large earthfast multiple Bullaun Stone by the Riverside which runs under a bridge close (20 Metres) to the Ecclesiastical fragments housed in the Graveyard enclosure.

There is also an imperforate granite High Cross in the Church grounds and several fragmentary remains, Cross slabs and a large High Cross head housed in a small enclosure in the Graveyard.

An almost illegible and well worn Ogham Stone is also located here in the graveyard. At the time of visiting (2021) there were several interesting masony fragments and some type of trough also located here. An archaeologist would probably know more of what these were.

Approximately 100 metres from the site are the impressive ruins of Clonmore Castle.
