What is recorded here
No church wall or roof remains, only a buried church inside a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure and burial ground in County Cork. Bowman recorded a large mound of stones on the north side of that burial ground, but even that marker has vanished from view. The place still works through absence: a church removed until it becomes a shape of memory, patience and forgotten prayer.
Within possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (13878) and burial ground (14092). Bowman (1934, 320) recorded site of church marked by 'large mound of stones' on N side of burial ground. No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
