coole churches

Little is known about the history of the place, but a monastery may have been founded here by St. Abban, though it is also connected with other saints. Near the road is a 12th or 13th century church with antae, and with an unusual pointed east window which is off-centre. The west end would seem to have been added on later, as were possibly the other buildings to the north and south of the church, of which only the foundations remain. A few hundred yards to the north-north-east is a larger church.
