The National Monuments Service's description
The placename 'Killishal', is indicated in the centre of the townland of Killard on the 1842 OS 6-inch map and in its NW quadrant on the 1937 OS 6-inch map. O'Donoghue (1986, 217) noted that 'Killishal - Cill Iseal (low church), which was at one time a townland, is at the north-east [sic]' of the townland of Killard. According to local information, the site of the church of Killishal is in the townland of Shean Lower, to the N of Gothic Bridge in an area that is indicated as tree covered on the 1842 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains of this possible church.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
