Clochán (Cell) C described in 1996 as follows; ''Clochaun C: The masonry of the S external angle of this structure surmounts that of the adjoining clochaun B [KE104A001033-]. The clochaun measures 2.85m x 2.45m internally at the level of its flagged floor, which slopes down towards the doorway and contains a covered drain. The doorway is 1.34m high, and inclines in elevation from a basal width of 0.64m to 0.5m under the head. The dome of the roof is closed by a single slab and is 3.55m high' (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 278-90, no. 948 (7)). See attached LiDAR image of monastery with Clochán labelled 'Cell C' [No. 13], taken from Bourke, Hayden and Lynch 2011, 7. 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. Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 7 March 2022
