What is recorded here

The placename 'Killishal', is indicated in the centre of the townland of Killard on the 1842 OS 6-inch map and in its NW quadrant on the 1937 OS 6-inch map. O'Donoghue (1986, 217) noted that 'Killishal - Cill Iseal (low church), which was at one time a townland, is at the north-east [sic]' of the townland of Killard. According to local information, the site of the church of Killishal is in the townland of Shean Lower, to the N of Gothic Bridge in an area that is indicated as tree covered on the 1842 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains of this possible church. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

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.
