What is recorded here

Musketry Bay, County Cork: A Protestant chapel stood within a rectangular field until demolition reduced it to sod-covered foundations. The T-shaped frame measured twenty-two metres east-west with an eleven-metre southern extension, large enough for congregational worship but now invisible except through low stone edges beneath grass. Its disappearance from later maps erased the building while the earth retained its geometry.

Marked on 1842 OS 6-inch map as outline of T-shaped structure (c. 20m E-W; c. 8m N-S: extension to S c. 10m x c. 5m) within rectangular field (c. 40m N-S; c. 30m E-W). Not marked on later editions of map. Church levelled but sod-covered foundations of T-shaped structure (22m E-W; 6m N-S: extension to S 11m N-S; 5m E-W) remain. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
