The name suggests that there may have been a monastic site on the site in the 4th or 5th century. St. John's Church (Church of Ireland) is a listed structure, which was built by the local landlord John Bruen in the 1780s along with a schoolhouse.[2]
Nurney Cross, located near St. John's Church,[3] is a very early example of a high cross and is a National Monument.
