  1. Local Ruins

    Share Share Post
    There is only one ruin in this parish. It is the ruins of an old monastery that was in this parish long ago.
    It was burned in the year sixteen hundred and forty seven or in the year sixteen hundred and fifty two. All that is to be seen of this monastery now is four walls, and these are not sound because they are broken down.
    There is a graveyard around the ruins now and the dead are buried there.
