Part of W ingoing of doorway near W end of S wall; collapsed central ope in E wall, described by Coleman (1907-9d) as 'two-light lancet window intact'. Many chest tombs and headstones in interior, Coleman (ibid) notes inscriptions dated 1701 & 1704 here. Parish church of Mogeely which, according to Lewis (1837, vol. 2,13), 'was destroyed in the war of 1641'. 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.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
