Outside the enclosed area, is a holy well and bullaun stone. St John's Church. #StJohnsPoint
Local folklore often attaches religious or magical significance to bullaun stones, such as the belief that the rainwater collecting in a stone's hollow has healing properties

St John's Church, of the 10th or 11th C, marks the site of an early establishment associated with Eoan (John) son of Cairland, and in medieval times it was a chapel. It is an excellent example of a small, pre-Romanesque church
