The National Monuments Service's description
An Seabhac (1939, 222) noted the ruins of a possible church KE026-022001- in Gort an Bhráthar, a field on the NW side of a low hillock c. 200m from the W shore of Brandon Bay.
The discovery of section of the head of a round-headed doorway, now in the field fence bounding the SW side of the adjacent field to W, confirms the existence of a church-site in this general area but its precise location has not been identified. The section of the chamfered head of a round-headed doorway is carved from sandstone and exhibits punch dressing. Two other dressed stones were unearthed with this (CKFC) but are now missing.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 990. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
