Lisselton Church, County Kerry

What is recorded here

Lisselton Church in Loughanes has taken the Irish goodbye a bit far: the rest of the church has gone, but the entrance tower is still outside saying it must be off.

Freestanding single-bay three-stage tower, built c. 1840, originally entrance tower to Church of Ireland church, possibly incorporating fabric of earlier church, built c. 1650. Ruinous by 1914, remainder of church demolished, post-1914. Rendered rubble stone walls, thickly covered in ivy. Pointed arch door opening with limestone surround. Graveyard to site with various cut-stone grave markers and mausolea, c. 1840-present. Gateway, built c. 1840, to east comprising pair of cut-limestone piers.
