rathmichael church

It was possibly St. Comgall of Bangor who founded the first monastery here. The present nave-and-chancel church may have been built or re-built as late as the 16th century, but it incorporates part of an earlier church. Attached to the south wall of the church are a number of unusual Early Christian decorated slabs.

Near the south-west end of the church is the stump of a Round Tower. Remains of the old monastic stone wall surround the graveyard.

In a laneway leading down from the graveyard to the Old Connaught road is a base holding a small (15th century) cross bearing a Crucifixion on each face, on e in high and the other in low relief.
