The National Monuments Service's description
Jones (1902, 235), suggesting townland name pointed to 'religious origin', made enquiries locally and was informed that 'an uncle of the present owner found an abundance of bones here when sinking a drain.' No further information given regarding location. Power (1932, 121) notes 'an early church site, beside a farmhouse on E bank of the Bregoge stream.' Probably in tillage field to S of farmhouse in SW corner of townland. Curving field boundary (C c. 80m) to N may indicate perimeter of enclosure; scarp (H 2m) NW->N; earthen field fence (H 1m) N->E. Low undulations in field c. 60m to S. Power (ibid., 30, 121) tentatively identifies site with 'Cill Mainches', chief church of the Tuath O nDuinnin.
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.
