Camp (Irish: An Com)[1] is a village near the Slieve Mish Mountains in County Kerry, Ireland, on the Dingle Peninsula. It is close to the Dingle Way and is a destination for tourists.
History
The village has been associated with the Milesians legend,[2] thus the first possible recorded history from the area dates to around 1700 BC.[3] Local rail transport used to include the route along the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway.[3] Killelton Church, a medieval National Monument, lies 2.5 km (1.6 mi) to the east.
The local Roman Catholic church, which is dedicated to Saint Mary, was built c. 1830.[4]
