    Ardfert which is situated about five miles from Tralee has many historic ruins. First there is the Round Tower. Next comes the Cathedral dedicated to St Brien dan - still a sublime and majestic ruin highly ornamented. The groups of ruins in the Cathedral are said to be the most interesting and beautiful in Ireland. Among them are Lady Dowagar's Tomb, and site of her castle, Teampail na h-ó and Teampail Grúbhthin. There is some solid masonry in the northern wall of the Cathedral. These buildings date from the seventh century. The Round Tower is said to be one of the highest and best built in Eire.
