The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a W-facing slope. Power (1932, 30) listed 'Ceall Garbhain', a subsidiary church of Tuatha Glennomnach' whose chief church was at Glanworth. Power (1932, 71) also noted that 'the early church site can still be traced, near the centre of a field called Pairc-a-gheata, on the farm of John Flynn. The foundation (a short arc) of the circular enclosing fence is faintly visible…'. A low scarp NW-N was noted in the field and this is possibly part of the enclosure. Field boundaries in the vicinity have been removed.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
