There are no visible remains of this church (SMR file); it would appear to post-date 1700 AD. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
- KE063-021: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE063-021----. Internal diam. 27.5m NE-SW, c. 24m NW-SE Situated on a plateau on the lower NW slopes of Coolroe mountain, this poorly preserved univallate rath overlooks Dingle Bay to N. The enclosing bank and fosse are extant only from S to NW, and elsewhere the outline of the site is barely traceable. The extant portion is densely overgrown and the fosse, 1.5m wide, is partially infilled. The bank is composed of earth, with a large mixture of small stones, and large slabs flank sections of its inner face. It has an external height of 1.8m and averages 1.75m wide. The interior of the site has been raised at N to compensate for the slope in the land and measures .8m above external ground level here. 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. 495. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
