Saint Brendan’s Oratory
Saint Brendan’s Oratory is an example of an early Christian ‘boat type oratory’, or church, building built around the 10th century using a dry stone corbelling technique which is unique to the Dingle Peninsula; the most famous and intact version of which is Gallarus Oratory.
Saint Brendan’s Oratory, which is named after the famous 5th century Kerry saint, Saint Brendan the Navigator, is slightly narrower than its counterpart at Gallarus measuring 5.5 metres long by just 3 metres wide. Originally it would have had a complete drystone corbelled roof which has since collapsed and was lit by a narrow rectangular window still visible in the eastern end above where the altar would originally have stood.
