BALLYROGAN ROAD, BALLINTEMPLE, GARVAGH
It is believed that a small church was built at Errigal around 560 A.D. The Church was attacked and rebuilt many times until it was completely destroyed after the 1641 rebellion and a new Church was then built in the village of Garvagh in 1670. In the early days the Church was called "Errigal Adamnan" after St. Adamnan, its patron. Another feature bearing the patron’s name is Onan’s Rock (an inauguration stone within Gortnamoyagh Forest), found near the old Church and unusual because of the footprints (said to be Adamnan’s) impressed on the rock. These points of interest are featured on the ‘Errigal Glen Trail’ at Glenullin.
