A large piece of window tracery was found in the graveyard (SL020-109002-) of St Fechin's church (SL020-109001-) on the site of an early monastery (SL020-109005 -). This probably originated from the Augustinian abbey in Abbeytown (SL020-108----), c. 250m to the W. (M. B. Timoney 2002, 157-8, n. 14). During a graveyard clean up in 1995 and 1996, a number of architectural pieces, a Romanesque font and a medieval graveslab (SL020-109010-) were found (M. B. Timoney 2002, 149-59). One of the architectural pieces included a piece of window tracery (SL020-109016-) that was probably from the Augustinian abbey (SL020-108----), c. 250m to the W in Abbeytown (ibid. 157-8, n. 14).
