What is recorded here

Killaneetig Ch stands beneath a modern farmbuilding in County Cork, preserving the hidden heart of an old church. Local tradition remembers the site as a mass-house, suggesting worship continued long after formal structures fell or changed. The building above may hide stairs, chambers or buried prayer rather than erase them.
