Ecclesiastical enclosure in Clogheenavodig,cloghmacsimon ,knockanreagh,moanarone — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Clogheenavodig, cloghmacsimon, knockanreagh, moanarone contain a 140m circular ecclesiastical enclosure above Bandon, preserving a one-metre scarp and a graveyard in its southern quadrant. The church likely stood within that ring before the land was taken for pasture, while the people moved their prayers into the stones already marked for death. What is left is not a ruin but a boundary: a line drawn across a living hill, still holding the shape of the room where worship and burial shared one address.

In pasture atop hill overlooking Bandon town (c. 1km to NW). Circular enclosure (diam c. 140m) visible in aerial photograph (Mould 1981, 107-108). Scarp (H 1m) SW-NE. Short section of bank remains in field fence to N (H 1.4m). Ballymodan graveyard (CO110-03302) occupies S quadrant.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
