What is recorded here

In westernmost of two conjoined graveyards (14543). Fragmentary remains of church: SW corner survives to near full height (H 4.7m), with short returns of S wall (L 1.8m) and W wall (L 6.3m). Noticeable batter on external face of W wall. Set-back (D 0.25m) along inner face of W wall, possibly to hold floor joists. Short section (L 1.48m) of N wall also survives, with possible ingoing of embrasure at W end. Remains of parish church of Aglishdrinagh (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 1, 29), also referred to as Ballynowran (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 9). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
