On E side of road; c. 50m N of possible ringfort (13162). Unenclosed area of overgrowth around ruin of parish church of Rossagh (14450) is all that is now evident of graveyard depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as trapezoidal area (c. 30m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by broken line N->S and by curving road to W, with church in NE corner; depicted similarly on 1906 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps, but shown as smaller (c. 20m E-W; c. 25m N-S). No visible surface trace of any gravemarkers or burials. Power (1932, 55 & 122) identifies this as site of 'Rosach na Righraidhi' which is mentioned in Crichad an Chaoilli.
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.
