Church (KE100-015002-): A small rectangular church, marked 'in ruins' on the first edition of the OS map, was located close to the E boundary of the enclosure. Its longer axis was aligned roughly WNW-ESE. The church is marked only as ‘site of’ on the second edition. All that is now evident at this location is a rectangular depression, 5.5m N-S x 4.6m E-W, defined by a low stony bank. The bank averages 1.4m wide and stands to an external height of .5m at N. Burials occupy the interior of the depression. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 924. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
