What is recorded here

In a church (KE057-078001-). In the 1940s it was recorded that the E end of the 'south wall [of the church] projects and widens showing what appears to be a souterrain leading under it' (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club 1940, vol. 1, 698). The SE corner of the church has collapsed outwards, depositing a mound of rubble which obscures an area up to 4m. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
