Annagh Church is a medieval church and National Monument in County Kerry, Ireland.[3]

Annagh Church is located at the north end of Annagh burial ground, 3.6 km (2.2 mi) southwest of Tralee, on the south side of Tralee Bay.[4][5]

The church dates to the 12th–15th centuries. There are many ancient sites in the area: Tonakilla Fort, a ringfort and standing stones.[6]

The doorway is unusual in Ireland, with drip-moulding completely around it, making it similar to the Anglo-Norman style.
