The National Monuments Service's description
Not shown on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps. Marked within ringfort (12030) on 1937 OS 6-inch map; site of church (14457) also shown. No visible surface trace of burials noted except slight stony hollow inside bank in SW quadrant which may indicate location of burial. According to Bowman (1934, 486), 'about 15 years ago (c. 1916) a stone, measuring about 3ft by 2 was found near the church site. This was cross-inscribed, and was used in the building of a fence nearby'.
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.
