Kilmacoo Church (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilmacoo Church stood within a graveyard and early ecclesiastical enclosure in County Cork, mentioned in Papal Taxation of 1302-6. By 1841 its walls still rose beside a small square window, but by 1905 maps marked only the site where the building had been. The church vanished without leaving a visible trace, erasing its shape from the land while the graveyard kept the memory alive.

Within graveyard (14546) of early ecclesiastical enclosure (13876). No visible surface trace of church. Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as rectangular structure (c. 15m ENE-WSW) E-of-centre in graveyard; marked 'site of' on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Church here mentioned in Papal Taxation of 1302-6 (Hurley 1980, 61). According to OS Field Books of 1841 the walls of the early church were then standing, with 'a small square window (2ft x 1ft 6in)' (Bowman 1934, 394).
