In pasture, on a S-facing slope in a field known locally as 'Páirc an tSeipéil'. The remains of a rectangular church (int. dims. 9.8m N-S; 4.7m E-W) consisting of large sod-covered base stones of walls (T 0.7m; H 0.65m) on the S and E sides, a face of outcropping rock on the N side and a roughly built stone wall (H 1.3m) forming part of a field boundary on the W side. The interior slopes down gently to the S. The entire remains are covered by a thick growth of ferns. This church possibly dates to the period of the penal laws (1690s to 1750s AD).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
