Not a vestige of the church is to be seen. diam. c. 34 yds.' The site of the church was shown to James Byrne J.P. (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 3, 261) by Mr P. Lane, 'one of the tenants of Kilcaskin...The spot has been spared from the plough and is marked by a few mounds'. No visible surface trace.
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.
