The ruins of a medieval church adjoins the graveyard of the town's modern Catholic church. It has a well-preserved tenth-century Irish round tower, with the exception of its topmost section and capstone.
The tower was built between 973 and 1013, a period during which the round tower proliferated, wherein they provided a defensive vantage point, a place of safety for church riches and fortification against raids. The tower was partly restored in 1969 and leans slightly to the north
