Situated on a site adjacent to the Strabane bypass, the 'Let the Dance Begin' sculpture by Maurice Harron is an ensemble of five stainless steel and bronze figures. Commissioned by the former Strabane District Council in collaboration with the Strabane Lifford Development Commission, this artwork symbolises the transition to the new millennium. The statues, standing at an impressive height of approximately 30 foot (10 m) have affectionately been named "The Tinnies" by the locals.

It is thought that a church has been sited here since the 6th century. Little is known about St Caireall, but the ruined church was definitely present in 1399 as it was recorded in Archbishop Colton's Visitation of the Derry Diocese. Just up the road is a white painted, tumbling down schoolhouse. It is believed to be built with stones from the church.
