Killeenleigh Church (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killeenleigh Church vanished so completely that only a stone pile at the foot of a tree remains, yet local memory still treats those scattered rocks as the church itself. The 1842 map drew a small rectangle aligned northwest to southeast, giving shape to what the land forgot. Hartnett admitted nothing is known of its history, but the pile suggests people kept returning to mark the place long after walls collapsed.

No visible surface trace of church but pile of stones collected at foot of tree regarded locally as remains of site. Shown as small rectangular structure (long axis NW-SE) on 1842 OS 6-inch map marked 'site of Killeenleigh Church'. According to Hartnett (1939, 193) 'nothing is known as to its history'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
