What is recorded here

Larch trees still mark the low mound where the church stood, their shadows falling across a triangular field that has kept the shape of worship long after the walls disappeared. The site sat at the heart of a graveyard, suggesting people continued to bury their dead beside the ruin rather than abandon the place entirely. What remains is a mound about thirty feet by twenty, oriented east to west, large enough to have held a building but humbled by time into something the land can swallow.

Depicted as rectangular ruinous structure (c. 20m E-W; C. 10m N-S) at centre of graveyard (9548) and marked 'Site of church' on 1842 OS 6-inch map; marked 'Church (site of)' on 1904 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Low mound (c. 10m E-W; c. 7m N-S) at centre of small triangular field, planted with larch trees survives. According to Hartnett (1934, 290) 'a low mound about 30 feet by 20 feet oriented E.-W. is pointed out as the site of the building'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
