What is recorded here
No wall, roof or stone marker remains at Kilmacabea, only the graveyard and the name preserved in a county inventory. The church vanished before the 1903 survey, leaving behind a gap where a building should have stood. People may have prayed there, buried their dead there and forgotten the shape of the place entirely.
In graveyard (CO133-064001-). No visible remains of 'Kilmacabea Church (site of)' marked on OS 6-inch map (1903).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
