The National Monuments Service's description
Named 'Grave Yard' on 1842 OS 6-inch map; 'Burial Ground (Disused)' on 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps. In pasture, on crest of hill. Raised rectangular area (34m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by scarp (H 0.4m) to E, S and W; field fence to N. Interior overgrown; surface rough and uneven, crowded with scatter of sandstone slabs set on edge. According to Grove White (1905-25, vol. 4, 244), used sometimes as burial ground for unbaptised children. He (ibid.) was informed of, but did not see, a blue elliptical stone 'about the size of a mangel' known as the 'Vanishing Stone' which was venerated as relic of St Molaga; said to always return to same position under whitethorn tree if removed; used to cure cattle. Stone not located. Possible church (14465) in NW angle.
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.
