I became aware of this site while browsing Geograph. The heavily-restored church is unremarkable, but the massive circular churchyard is spectacular, and characteristic of a very early foundation. Allegedly the church was founded in the 6th century, although this was probably a sacred site long before that. As the sun sets over Ireland, it certainly evokes the "Age of the Saints".
