On the island is a stone known as the Bullaun Stone featuring a hole that holds water. The Bullaun Stone is most likely associated with the first monastic settlement, however local anecdote has it that the hole in the stone was made by St. Patrick as he knelt to pray. The spire was built beside the church for Bishop Harvey in the late 1700s who wanted a view of a spire from his dwelling in Bellaghy.
