The National Monuments Service's description
Not shown on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps; shown on 1937 OS 6-inch map as subrectangular enclosure (c. 30m N-S; c. 20m E-W), defined by field fence to N and by dotted line to E, S and W. In tillage, at base of S-facing slope. No visible surface trace of burial ground. According to Bowman (1934, 520), 'no surrounding fence; the site (circular diam. 28 yds) is c. 3 ft higher than the field level...about 6 small headstones mark the sites of graves.' Church (14520) on N side.
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.
