Ard Cooillen, The Rhennie Keeill

Archaeology

The reputed site of an early medieval keeill or chapel which would have been in use during the period circa AD500 to AD1000.  It is thought to have been located on intack lands on the eastern slope of Slieau Ruy, at a height of about 240 metres, but no trace of it remains.  In 1894, a 7th or 8th century cross-slab (Manx Cross No. 32) was found here. It is now kept in the collection of crosses at the Parish Church.
