On the site of a turf church erected by Columban missionaries around 606 AD. This building dates from 1870 AD. The previous church built in 1793 AD burned down on 28 March 1869. The church before that dated from 1431 AD. Folklore claims the mound on the left of the path to be the grave mound of Vanora (Queen Guinevere).
