That a public roadway bisects an early Christian settlement now designated a National Monument says something about how long these places were treated as ordinary landscape rather than history.

The site, known as Calluragh burial ground or An Raingiléis, is an early Christian settlement whose circular enclosing wall survives well enough to read clearly in the ground. The northern portion holds a series of low grave mounds, likely associated with its use as a calluragh, a type of burial ground for unbaptised infants and others excluded from consecrated earth, places that occupy a quiet and often overlooked corner of Irish ecclesiastical life. The oratory inside the enclosure is a rectangular dry-stone structure, meaning it was built without mortar, measuring just 3.6 metres east to west and 2.6 metres north to south internally. Its walls, between 1.3 and 1.9 metres thick, are disproportionately massive for something so small, a feature common to early Irish oratories where structural integrity mattered more than interior space. The corbelled roof, in which courses of stone are laid in overlapping rings to form a vault without any timber, is now gone entirely. What remains visible of the walls is only the upper half metre to under a metre; the east wall has largely been lost to collapse. A detail worth pausing over is the doorway in the west wall: it is splayed and lintelled, leaning slightly in elevation, and the holed stone that once held the upper pivot of its door still projects from the internal face of the wall, a small mechanical remnant of a working building rather than a ruin.
