In pasture within Ardtully Demesne and c. 60m SW of Fussa Bridge. Listed by Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 398) as an early monastic site, which probably ceased to exist before the 11th century. The only possible evident trace of the monastic site is a curving depression (Wth at top 5.2m, Wth at base 1.2m; D 0.3m) N-ESE, possibly the remains of a fosse. This feature is situated c. 75m NE of the NE corner of Ardtully House. According to Smith (1756, 46), stones from this site were used in the building of Ardtully Castle (KE094-002002-).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
