A mote-and-bailey can be seen near the gate of the fifteenth-century St Finian's Church, which is of the nave and chancel type with a three-storey fortified tower. The tower was where the priest used to live.Its fine tracery east window, is English in design and is one of the best of its kind in the country.

The church is still used for worship. This is a Roman Catholic Church

A thatched cottage in the village, now a public house, is at least two hundred years old.
Close-by is Baldonnel (now casement) military aerodrome, where the German fliers kohl and Von Huenfeld, with Irish airman James Fitzmaurice, took off on the first successful east-west Atlantic flight in 1932.
