The National Monuments Service's description

Possible location of Litter parish church suggested by O'Shea (1947, 90). In woodland, at base of N-facing slope in flood plain of River Blackwater on demesne of Cregg Castle. According to O'Shea (ibid.), church was in 'E half of the lawn of the modern Cregg Castle...known locally as 'Abbey Field''; he noted at the SE corner 'remains of a building, one wall of which is 4 feet thick, 8 feet high and about 10 feet long [with] a narrow slit window'. Ruined walls noted but none which matched this account. Power (1932, 75) suggests location of Litter church in deserted settlement (CO035-061----) at Ballynoe.

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.
