Killelton Church and graveyard/Cill Eilthín: Situated on the lower N slopes of Gearhane mountain, overlooking Tralee Bay, this site consists of a rectangular enclosure, within which are the remains of a small oratory and 2 rectangular buildings. Children were still being interred in the graveyard (KE037-025004-) in the 19th century (OSNB Kilgobban, 30) and 2 low upright stones in the NW part of the interior may be gravemarkers. The enclosure measures c. 25m E-W x 24m N-S and the drystone walls are no more than .8m in height.
