The National Monuments Service's description

In marshy area, on W side of stream. Scarped-up rectangular platform (max. H 0.5m; 6m N-S; 5.5m E-W); scatter of large stones on platform, one in depression which could be collapsed grave. At NW corner of platform double arc of stones set on edge; exact nature unclear but might be feature described by Power (1918, 187) as 'foundations of a building presumably an early church or oratory type... measuring 18 feet by 9 feet'. According to Power (ibid.), site of 'Cill na Cluana - Church of the Sequestered Place'. Power locates site in Killacloyne townland, but OS 6-inch map shows it just inside Ballinbrittig.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
