What is recorded here

Garrylucas East appeared on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map as a compact settlement in County Cork, though time has stripped most of its life away. Overgrown stone ruins now crowd the southern end, one house still wearing a mud gable like a forgotten skin, while a single long structure at the northern edge remains occupied. The place holds the quiet danger of disappearing, preserving only enough shape to remind us that many people once called it home before the green swallowed their walls.

On 1842 OS 6-inch map as compact settlement, named Garrylucas East. Overgrown ruins of stone-built houses at S end; one with gable of mud. Only one house at N end of settlement still occupied; long 1-storey gable-ended structure. 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.
