The present mid-18th century church of St. John the Evangelist occupies an early ecclesiastical site associated with St. Brendan of Clonfert (Appleyard 1985, 51-61, 81, 97). Excavations in 1990 exposed portion of an earlier wall and a section of outer fosse and inner bank (Swan 1991, 25). Finds included a bronze penannular brooch, a small lead ingot and worked antler. Other elements of the early ecclesiastical site include a plain granite cross and a millstone of a horizontal watermill found in the grounds of the churchyard.
