Reask
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
Reask (Template:Langx) is a ruined early Monastic site located 1 km east of Baile an Fheirtéaraigh, County Kerry, Ireland. The remains of the site include the low remnants of buildings and enclosure walls and a cross-slab standing stone which sits in the middle of the compound.[1][2]
[3] Some of the artefacts found in the excavation at Reask, including some of the cross-inscribed stones, are on display in Músaem Chorca Dhuibhne, which is in the nearby village of Baile an Fheirtéaraigh.[4] The Reask Cross Pillar is similar to the pillars found nearby at Kilfountain and Kilmalkedar on the Dingle Peninsula.[5]
The site is a National Monument in state care.[1]
