comely saints church

This national monument is named after Saints Fursa, Conall, Bearchan and Breandan of Birr. It stands near the village of Cowrugh, 1km west of Eochaill, and is a small 15th century building. Outside there is an enclosure called - Leaba an Cheathrair - on which there are four great flagstones, marking the graves of the saints, while to the south of the church is a holy well.

A few fields west are graves marked by plain pillar stones: also in the vicinity is the ruinous Clochan an Phuca, Diarmuid and Grainne's Bed ( a chamber tomb of circa 2000 B.C.), Clochan sites, etc. This entire area is lettered with ancient remains, hut-sites and small ring-forts, which are not immediately visible to the casual visitor, due to the high field fences.
