What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope. A roughly circular enclosure (93m N-S; 80m E-W), defined by earthen bank NNE->NW (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.2m); possible entrance to SE (Wth 4.2m). Interior under pasture with no visible surface trace of church and graveyard indicated on 1842 OS 6-inch map (the burial ground is still remembered in local tradition). According to O'Donoghue (1986, 206), Kilmona is 'Cill Mona - Church of St. Mona'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
