The village is set on the edge of a ridge where the drumlin country of County Down starts to descend into the Lagan Valley. It is laid out around a junction of routes converging at the front of the Presbyterian Church, which is a listed building. The current church building is adjacent to the site of the medieval parish church, the foundations of which can be seen in the graveyard, as can the ruined lower half of a round tower. The tower stump is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The round tower was originally sited here to take advantage of the panoramic views over the Lagan Valley. At the time of the tower's construction, these views would have been useful in spotting the advance of Viking raiders. The tower formed part of a monastery which occupied the site.
