Cloncha church north of Carndonagh near Culdaff is another fascinating place. This was another significant  early ecclesiastical site as attested by the remains of two high crosses and an early decorated stone lintel built into the entrance of the later current church. Inside, is the tombstone of a Gallowglass- a Scottish mercenary, with as well as a sword, a carving of a hurley stick and sliotar (ball).
