'Teach na Sagart' / The 'Priest's House'
Foirgneamh beag ón 12ú haois is ea 'Teach na Sagart', scrín nó aireagai b fhéidir. Os cionn an dorais tá blúire d'fhardoras ar a bhfuil eaglaiseach nó rí greanta agus ab ar gach aon taobh de bachail ag duine acu agus clog ag an duine eile. Ag an gceann thoir den fhoirgneamh ta cailleach fhíor-neamhchoitianta agus áirse Rómhánúil os a cionn.
The 'Priest's House' is a miniature 12th century building, perhaps an oratory or shrine. Over the door is a fragmentary lintel with the representation of an ecclesiastic or monarch flanked by two abbots, one with a crozier and the other with a bell. At the east end is a unique alcove with a Romanesque arch.
