  Information about Ardfert - 11 January 1998 From web site: http://www.kerryweb.ie/destination-kerry/ardfert/ardfert.html Ardfert - One of Irelands most important monastic settlements. Ardfert was once the capital of Kerry. St.Brendan the Navigator founded a monastic settlement here in the 6th Century. It was the seat of a Bishop's Seemade by Saint Erc. In the Annals of Innisfallen Ardfert is referred to as ahyferte which denotes "The territory of Ert or of miracles". The Cathedral was finished in 1254 and in 1641 when the castle of Lord Kerry was attacked and destroyed by fire, the Cathedral which stood ajacent to it was also destroyed in the fire. The ruins contain some of the finest examples of Irish stone craft as well as Hiberno-Romanesque, early and late Gothic architecture. Major renovations have been carried out within the Cathedral grounds and are on-going. For students of history Ardfert is the place to visit.
