( St. Lua the 'mo' is Gaelige for 'my' - an affectionate way of
refering to someone) has some simple
field stone grave markers, other more modern engraved headstones and an ancient Christian Monastic Sundial.
In an adjacent field there is a holy well dedicated to St. Molua. It is said that
the stones from the old St.Molua monastery were used to build part of
the wall around the graveyard in the 19th century. No other
traces of the monastery are visible. |
