The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Within early ecclesiastical enclosure (13883); deserted rural borough (14638) immediately to W. Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as rectangular area (c. 50m NNE-SSW; c. 40m WSW-ENE) enclosed by field fence to S, W and N, and defined by broken line to E; shown on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps as small area (c. 15m NNW-SSE; c. 20m WNW-ENE) to S and immediately E of church, enclosed by broken line, with field fence to W. Subrectangular graveyard (25m E-W; 15.5m N-S), delimited by ruin of parish church of Kilmaclenine (14434) to N and enclosed by low, wide bank of earth and stone to E (L 6.6m), by shallow fosse (D 0.5m; Wth 2.8m) to S and by earthen field boundary to W. No gravemarkers evident. Caulfield (1882, 12) noted 'cemetery' used only for burial of unbaptised children; an account of 1881 (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 3, 316) describes graveyard as unenclosed, only distinguishable from surrounding fields by moss-grown 'rude stones', and long disused.
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.
