Church

What is recorded here

Possible church site according to local historian Mr Jackie Hyland who identifies this site as the potential site of a fifth century wooden church associated with St Patrick. He believes that this irregular shaped platform defined by a scarp and outer fosse indicates the possible site of a fifth century church associated with St Patrick. It now consists of a grove of hazel trees in a corner of a field which is known locally as Killinadun Upper (Church of the fort). Nearby Doon Fort (LA008-017) located 320m to the SE.
