The National Monuments Service's description
Bowman (1934, 384) recorded burial ground and church site (14473) inside Kilpatrick fort (12402). He noted that 'six rough stones, projecting about 6 ins over ground mark the sites of graves' (ibid.). Fort almost levelled; no visible surface trace of burial markers evident. Locally believed that church and burial ground were not here but in levelled ringfort (12403) c. 90m to E.
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.
