What is recorded here

In 1992 several mounds, 'some round, some rectangular' were recorded in this field on the NE side of Kilcaskan Graveyard (CO103-003001-). Cork County Council has subsequently created a car park at this location and there is now no visible trace of these possible hut sites. According to local tradition, they were the remains of 'monks cells' when St. Caskan had a monastery here. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 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.
