Scéal Trail: Mo Chuid Amhráin Ghaeilge Páirc Ráth Chairn

Is bealach spraíúil é an Scéal Trail chun taitneamh na léitheoireachta, grá don taobh amuigh agus roinnt gníomhaíochta fisiciúla a thabhairt le chéile.
Tá an Scéal Trail mar chuid den tionscnamh An Ceart chun Léitheoireachta ag do Leabharlann agus táimid bródúil as an litearthacht a thabhairt isteach i gcroílár an phobail. Tá súil againn go mbeidh spraoi agaibh ag léamh an leabhair, ag éisteacht leis na hamhráin agus fiú ag canadh.

Castlekeeran monastic site

The early Christian monastery of Castlekeeran is situated in the valley of the River Blackwater. Very little remains of the structure of this 8th century monastic settlement but with three high crosses, an Ogham stone and a early cross slab grave on the wall of the one remaining part of the church it was worth paying a visit to.
