What is recorded here

The ruined foundations of this building are situated near the S corner of the graveyard. The structure measures 8.7m NE-SW x 6.3m NW-SE in overall dimensions, and the walls average 1.4m wide and .5m high. Portions of the internal wall facing, of roughly coursed sandstone blocks, are visible at the N and S angles of the building and at its clearly defined doorway. The doorway measures .55m wide and is located at the centre of the SW end-wall. Internally the church measures 5.5m x 3.2m. A long slab, 1.7m x .35m x .2m, lies on the NW wall and may have originally served as a lintel. 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. 969. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 13 June 2013
