Field clearance stones now cover this area. According to local information, burials took place here during the Great Famine of 1840s (Hartnett 1939, 93). Bullaun stone (CO071-040003-) marked to S of church on 1938 OS 6-inch map not located. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
