 Near Dun Aengus, there are two small churches. The largest is of two periods: the nave with its primitive lintelled doorway and projecting side walls is from the 10th-12th Centuries, while the chancel is of a later date. It is dedicated to St. Colman MacDuagh who for a time studied with St. Enda on Aran.
Near the church is a large cross-inscribed pillar stone with a Celtic cross surmounting an orb on one side.
The smaller church is known as the Church of the Saints (Teampall na Naomh), but not much is left of it.
