Kilmokea Ecclesiastical Site An early ecclesiastical enclosure was established in the townland of Great Island when it was an actual island. A church was also founded here in the 8th century by Suadbar, see Kilmokea High Cross. As well as the high cross there are a number of interesting artifacts, including the bullaun stones pictured left. The largest of these is a large conglomerate stone similar to the bullaun stone at Ballycanew. The bullaun stones are grouped together to the left of the gateway. The cross is to the right. |
