At the extreme North-Western edge of the Strandhill Peninsula stands the remains of Killaspugbrone Church and cemetary which date from the 11th or 12th century.

Though there was an earlier church on this site dating from the 5th century which is said to have been built by Saint Patrick.

To get to Killaspugbrone Church you must first drive to Strandhill Airport and park your car, then walk along a small road on the left hand side of the airport approach road just a few yards before reaching the airport itself. This road is closed by means of a large metal gate across the road, this road passes an aerial mast belonging to the airport, keep walking along this road, eventually you will have to walk cross country, to the end of the runway, from where you can walk to the other side and from here you will be able to see the remains of Killaspugbrone Church.
