A small town on a hill, located just off the Portumna - Scariff - Ennis road. The surrounding countryside has a scattering of wedge graves , gallery graves and standing stones; however many of these have been destroyed and the ones that survive are generally ruinous. The remains of several small castles, also mostly in ruins, dot the landscape.
It's worth having a look around the ruins of the church located on a hill, overlooking the town. Some recent renovative work has greatly improved the access and work is presently on-going on the church itself (c2004).
Apart from the picturesque ruins and graveyard, it also affords a pleasant view of the surrounding area. |

In the town there are recycling facilities for drink cans and glass. There is also a Post Office (doubling as a souvenir shop) and a library - please note, the opening hours are peculiar.
