The entrance gate to St. Catherine's Church.

---

The entrance gate to St. Catherine's Church.  The church was built around 1620, but is is believed that a much older church stood on this site before the plantation of Ulster.  The church is surrounded by an old graveyard.  There are a number of victims from WWII buried there, though some have in recent years been exhumed for reburial in the land of their birth.  The graveyard is no longer in use, the last local having been buried there was in 1902.
