Saul 'Mortuary House'

An odd little building in the graveyard at Saul Church. One theory proposed that it was a medieval port-hole shrine containing the remains of St Patrick, St Brigid & St Columba. This was ruled out by a 2014 excavation by Queen's University which found that it was built in the late 16th or early 17th century. Its purpose remains open to speculation.
