It contains the extensive ruins of Moycarkey Castle. To the west of the castle, there is a Catholic church, St. Peter's, which was built some time before the first Ordnance Survey in the early 19th century and heavily modernised in the mid-20th century. Beside the church is the parochial house for the Catholic parish of Moycarkey, Littleton, Two-Mile-Borris. To the north of the current church, just across the road, there is an old graveyard and the ruins of an old church; to the north of these ruins, the first Ordnance Survey map showed the remains of what it termed an 'R.C. Chapel (in ruins)'.[1] The modern graveyard, in which the first burial was made around 1958, is located a hundred metres or so to the south of the current church.
