Kilflyn Church, County Kerry

What is recorded here

Kilflyn Church in Ballyconnell became a heritage centre and turned part of a pointed window into a door. After generations of being told to use the proper entrance, you can finally climb in through the church window with official encouragement.

Freestanding three-bay double-height former Church of Ireland church, built c. 1810, with single-bay two-stage truncated entrance tower to south-west gable end having bellcote over gable, and single-bay single-storey lean-to vestry projection to south. Renovated with openings partly remodelled to accommodate use as heritage centre. Pitched slate roof with bellcote to west gable and pedestal to east gable. Coursed rubble stone walls with limestone ashlar quoins and high-relief cement pointing. Pointed arch openings with ashlar voussoirs, limestone sills and render reveals. South-east window divided to form doorway. Replacement timber windows and doors. Concrete access ramps. Graveyard to site with various cut-stone grave markers and mausolea, c. 1810-present. Gateway, built c. 1810, to east comprising pair of cut-stone piers with cast-iron gates. Boundary wall largely rebuilt in concrete block work.
