Skreen Church and Cross

Formerly known as Achall, the current name comes from Scrin Choluim chille (or: relics of Colmcille). In 875 the relics of Saint Colmcille were brought here. The monastery was looted between the 10th and 12th century and the same relics were stolen in 1027 but were recovered, thankfully. The present church dates back to the 15th century. You'll find it at (N 53 ° 35,147 W 33,747 6th). It was a real pleasure wandering around the ruins surrounded by cemeteries and the background music of croaking ravens that inhabit huge and cold hard wind Irish.
