The National Monuments Service's description
In a church (KE057-078001-). In the 1940s it was recorded that the E end of the 'south wall [of the church] projects and widens showing what appears to be a souterrain leading under it' (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club 1940, vol. 1, 698). The SE corner of the church has collapsed outwards, depositing a mound of rubble which obscures an area up to 4m. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain.
