The National Monuments Service's description
In possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (9207). Hartnett (1939, 81) described an opening '30in wide and a few inches high'; inaccessible but stone walling and roof lintels visible. Opening remains noticeable inside N bank immediately to W of road.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
