What is recorded here
St Finan's church in Ahascragh still holds four stone voussoirs recovered from Church Island. They mark a lost building that fell before the present walls rose. The stones crossed water, entered worship, and turned a forgotten chapel into a living memory.
For descriptive account see O'Sullivan and Sheehan (1996, 316-22, no. 974, one of '…four voussoirs…' which lie in the chancel of St Finan's church).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
