Killawillin Church (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killawillin Church collapsed into a shallow rectangular shadow, its walls no higher than a knee and its west edge buried under a mound of rubble. The site still carries the local name Carraig na Cille, a reminder that the church and graveyard belonged to one another before surveyors renamed the place. In that small Cork field, stone and memory did more work than any grand building could have managed.

To S of centre of graveyard (CO045-053001-) are the fragmentary remains of an apparently rectangular church (c. 8m E-W; c. 6.45m N-S) bounded to W by a mound of rubble but overgrown traces of N, S and E walls evident (max. H 0.8m). According to Power (1918, 213), remains of 'early church and graveyard' known locally as 'Carraig na Cille', though named 'Killawillin Church' on the OS 6-inch map. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
