The National Monuments Service's description
In wet undulating ground. Bowman (1934, 447) recorded church site in Mrs T. Clifford's farm; McCarthy (1991, 90) was informed that 'the outline of a little church was clearly visible...It measured 28ft x 8ft outside, was divided into two compartments and was made of mud mixed with straw'. Bowman (ibid.) also noted that 'Around [church] are the grass covered mounds showing the sites of about 20 houses...Average size of houses 21ft x 12ft. Enclosure circular, diam. c. 30yds, distance of nearest house from enclosure 15yds, surrounding fence of enclosure is now levelled.' Some undulations noted in area of site.
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.
