Ecclesiastical site in Ballymacoo — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Yes. An early monastery or hermitage, possibly belonging to St Mochua, stood on the east bank of the Owennagearagh River before swamp and overgrowth erased its markers. Across the water, Tobairin Beannuighthe still gives clean drinking water, keeping the place alive in bodies rather than stones.

O'Sullivan (1955, 2) mentions an early monastery or hermitage, possibly associated with St Mochua, which he located on the E side of the Owennagearagh River. There are now no visible remains of any ecclesiastical site here; this area is swampy and covered with overgrowth. There is a holy well (vol. 3, no. 9259), named 'Tobairin Beannuighthe' on the W side of the river. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
