The Hill of Faughart

Check out this stunning shot of the Hill of Faughart as captured in 2010 by DMull.

Faughart is said to be the native place of St Brigid and the stream and well close to this site were named after her and are still visited by pilgrims today.

The graveyard on the Hill of Faughart contains the ruin of a small nave-and-chancel church. The walls of the nave stand to full height and appear to date from the 12th century. The walls of the chancel are much lower and may be of a later medieval date. The walls of the church are now greatly overgrown and much of the detail is obscured.
