In pasture, on W-facing slope. According to O Murchadha (1967, 11), 'an ancient church' of the name Kilmichael 'stood in the townland now called Kilmichael (West), about 300 yards south of the forge cross on the left-hand side of the road to Fountainstown'. O'Leary (1919, 85) noted 'a tombstone on which the name Edmund Fitzgerald is all that is decipherable'. No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
