The church of Saint Ultan at Ardbraccan. The saint died in the mid-7th century, and abbots and bishops of Ardbraccan are attested from the 8th century. Their church was destroyed in the 10th century (by Vikings) and in the 12th century, before being rebuilt. The present structure dates to 1777. The church is surrounded by an old graveyard (earliest inscribed grave slab date 1535) and a bell tower, which is a remnant of the medieval church.
