St. Berrihert's Kyle, Religious monument in Bansha, Ireland

The ecclesiastical enclosure contains 72 stone slabs, fragments of a bullaun stone, four wheel crosses, and various carved stones within its walls.

Saint Berrihert, an Anglo-Saxon holy man, established this religious site after the Synod of Whitby in 664, creating a center of Christian worship.

The stone collection includes early Christian monuments with carved biblical scenes, representing the merging of Anglo-Saxon and Irish religious traditions.

The Office of Public Works constructed a protective stone enclosure in 1946 to preserve the numerous ancient monuments for public viewing.

A nearby holy well, spanning 20 meters across, was traditionally used for healing scalds and burns according to local medicinal practices.
