What is recorded here
Cells (Site of) is the lower wall of a vanished house, still measurable at 5.4 by 5.3 metres beside a Kerry church. It may have sheltered a keeper, a priest, a tenant or someone whose name the stones refused to keep. The room is gone, but its angle remains, marking the place where a life stood before it disappeared.
Located a short distance SW of the church (KE098-039001-) are the lower courses of a rectangular building which measures 5.4 E-W x 5.3 N-S.
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. 974. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
