This small island sanctuary, lying about 500 metres offshore in a sheltered spot, contains the ruins of two medieval churches alongside several ancient stone crosses and slabs, all enclosed within an old graveyard. The site, designated as National Monument No. 658, preserves centuries of Irish religious history in its weathered stones and careful construction.

St. Connell’s Church, measuring 15 metres by 5.15 metres internally, reveals multiple building periods through its rubble walls and ashlar quoins finished with grit-stone dressings. The eastern gable, nearly intact and featuring a distinctive base-batter, contains a narrow rectangular window that splays from 15 centimetres to 1.25 metres on the interior. The southern wall showcases three single-light windows with moulded jambs dating to the 14th century; one displays a simple lancet head, another features a trefoil design, whilst the third has been repaired with a reused double-chamfered voussoir. A buttress-like addition supports the exterior eastern half of this wall, and a pointed doorway with chamfered jambs marks the western end. At the church’s eastern end, a reconstructed altar-like platform incorporates moulded fragments from the neighbouring St. Mary’s Church, including a large flagstone with a central hole that was traditionally regarded as a healing stone.

The broader complex includes St. Mary’s Church, a fragment of a high cross, four surviving cross slabs (with one now missing), and a graveslab, all testament to the island’s enduring significance as a sacred site. The good pasture land surrounding these monuments suggests the island continued to support life even as the churches fell into ruin, preserving this atmospheric collection of medieval religious architecture for future generations to explore when the tides permit.
