Power (1932, 30) describes 'Ceall Bracain' as a subsidiary church of the Tuath Gleannomnach. Exact location not known. The Pipe Roll of Cloyne (MacCotter and Nicholls 1996, 27) gives a description for '_Kylbrackan, on the south side of the townland of Brygow[n]e_' from which description Power (1932, 73) identifies 'Ceall Bracain as the present Kiltrislane where, however, no memory of the exact cill site survives'. MacCotter and Nicholls (1996, 185) suggest that '_[Kylbrackan] covered a large area: possibly that covered by the modern parish of Kilphelan_' The possible early ecclesiastical enclosure at Kilphelan (13903) may also be a possible location for 'Ceall Bracain'.
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
