What is recorded here
No visible surface trace in Dunbulloge, but two stone-built beehive cells and a lintelled passage lie beneath the graveyard. R. Caulfield investigated them in 1863, and McCarthy later suggested one route may continue under the north-west corner of the church. The hidden alignment still belongs to the living place: marked by burial, remembered in measurement, and perhaps extended into the church itself.
In graveyard (CO063-02501-). Investigated by R. Caulfield in 1863. Described by McCarthy (1977, 222) as two stone-built beehive cells (average dims: diam. 1.82m; H 1.52m) long axes N-S; joined by creepway. Lintelled passage (L 4.57m) adjoining cell 2. McCarthy notes that it 'may run beneath NW corner of church (CO063-02502-). No visible surface trace.
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.
