Killelton Church is a medieval church and a National Monument in County Kerry, Ireland. [5] [6]
Killelton Church is 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) east-northeast of Camp, County Kerry, lying to the south of the N86 road. [7]
St Eltan founded the church here. [8] The stone structure is dated to the 9th/10th century AD. [9]
Restoration took place in 1984, and a holed stone was found, similar to those at Gallarus.
Killelton is an oratory with a rectangular enclosure, two rectangular buildings and a bullaun. [10]
There is a plinth at the bottom of the north and south walls, a feature characteristic of many early oratories. [11]
