The National Monuments Service's description
The poorly preserved, rectangular remains of this church stand in a graveyard (KE063-022----) on the E side of the Behy river.
A large number of burials occupy its interior, while outside are numerous low upright slabs, some of which bear simple crosses. An inscribed grave-marker (KE063-022001-) in the interior of the church carries a date of 1710.
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. 1086. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
