Killinaboy is an early monastic site named after St. Inghean Bhaoth. It has the remains of a church of the 11th or 12th century, over the south door, a Sheila-na-gig, female figure with no ascertainable ecclesiastical significance. On the outside of the west gable is the design of a two bar cross in the masonry. There is also the base of a round tower.

A short distance away on the bank of the River Fergus is an ivy-clad turret and bawn, known as De Clare's House.

About 1.5 km west is the site of the Tau Cross, a T-Shaped crossed with two carved human masks one at each end of the transom. The cross is, unfortunately, no longer to be seen at its original location; reproductions of the cross can be seen in the Burren Display Centre and at the Clare Heritage Centre in Corofin.
