About

Killelton Church is a medieval church and a National Monument in County Kerry, Ireland.

Killelton Church is 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) east-northeast of Camp, County Kerry, lying to the south of the N86 road.

St Eltan founded the church here. The stone structure is dated to the 9th/10th century AD.

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.

There is a plinth at the bottom of the north and south walls, a feature characteristic of many early oratories.
