What is recorded here

According to O'Regan (1960, 29) 'mass was celebrated in the eastern side of this townland, in the glen by the river, in Penal times'; 'cave' marked the spot but now only 'bold face of the rock' remains. Exact location not known. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
