"In Inisfail the fair there lies a land, the land of holy Michan. There rises a watchtower beheld of men afar." (U12.68)
St Michan's church was built in 1686 on the site of an 11c. Hiberno-Viking chapel. It is the oldest church north of the Liffey, and possibly the only one surviving from a Viking foundation.
