Ecclesiastical site in Shronahiree More

This site is located within the boundaries of Inse Rua graveyard at the mouth of Cloon valley, a short distance E of the Owenroe river. Three names for the site were recorded in the OSNB: Killeennamoyle/Cillín na Maoile, Inehorve/Inse Rua, and Kilnomeel (Knockane, 43). The site was referred to as a vicarage in Papal Letters in 1482 and 1485 (Ó Cíobhán 1985, lxii). The rectangular graveyard contains the foundations of a church, a bullaun stone and three cross-inscribed slabs. To N and W of the church a low L-shaped scarp, .4m high, may define part of the original limits of the site. The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 969. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 13 June 2013
