The Gallerus Oratory, estimated to be built between the 6th and 9th centuries, Ballyferriter, Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland
The Gallarus Oratory, Gallarus being interpreted as either "rocky headland" or "house or shelter for foreigners" is a chapel located on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland. It has been presented variously as an early Christian stone church by its discoverer, antiquary Charles Smith, in 1756. Or a 12th-century Romanesque church by archaeologist Peter Harbison in 1970. Or a shelter for pilgrims by the same in 1994.
