Church in Baslickane

Abutting the external face of the enclosure at NE, and .65m below the level of its interior, are the foundations of a rectangular structure, possibly an oratory (KE098-049002-), which measure 5.35m ENE-WSW x 2.85m NNW-SSE internally. The walls, of drystone construction, survive only one to two courses high and average .65m thick. The W end of the building merges with the enclosing element of the site. No entrance feature is apparent. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 930. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
