What is recorded here

Two whitethorn trees on the south side still mark the vanished church, though no wall or stone remains visible. The field kept the name church field, carrying the memory of worship into ordinary agricultural life. Perhaps people still walked past those trees toward an altar they could no longer see, trusting the boundary the living wood had drawn.

Within burial ground (14101) and enclosure (13763). No visible surface trace of church. According to Bowman (1934, 305), two whitethorn trees on S side of site were said locally to mark church location; field was known as 'church field'. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
