About
An island monastery, traditionally founded in the 5th century by St Machaoi and linked with St Patrick in a much later source.
The monastery consists of 3 round dry stone walled enclosures, one within the other. There is evidence of industrial works in the outer enclosure inclulding a tidal mil, a central enclosure with a church ruin and sundial, the remains of a round tower and a graveyard. The middle enclosure has the remains of huts and workshops.
It is thought to be the best example of a pre-Norman monastic site in Northern Ireland.
