History
The site may have been a monastic settlement of Saint Declan of Ardmore in the middle of the fifth century. The church was rebuilt in the eighth century in the Irish Romanesque style. The existing building dates from the early thirteenth century and was extended, ruined and renovated many times. Substantial restoration works were carried out between 1851 and 1854, possibly by W.H. Hill.
