In NE corner of graveyard (CO123-025001-) ruins of late-medieval parish church (L 12.3m, Wth 6.8m). Walls in poor repair and ivy-clad. No opes in S wall preserved and central projection (c. 4m N-S; 3.4m E-W) reduced to pile of rubble. Central east window has dressed stone light with pointed head and hood moulding. W gable has ruined attic window. Modern door ope near W end N wall. Replaced by new church in adjacent townland in 1793 (Brady 1863, Vol. 2, 517). Local tradition of round tower on site (O'Donoghue 1988, 110); also tradition that this is site of Franciscan friary but this is not likely (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 277). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
