St. Doulagh's

I've driven past this quite a few times but we're usually on the way to the local mall or the airport or something. Since we weren't going anywhere on Sunday I headed out during a break the weather to take some pictures...

It's an interesting church - apparently the oldest stone-roofed church still in use in Ireland, probably started in the 12th century with the square tower dating from the 15th century.  The cross visible in the foreground is granite, and likely to date from the 1200's also.

There is also a very unusual detached baptistry in the next field as well, known as St. Doulagh's Well - out of shot here.
