The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as a cruciform structure and named 'R.C. Chapel' only on the 1842 OS 6-inch map. There were no visible remains of this church in 1982. Hartnett (1939, 115) noted that while 'no vestige of masonry' survives 'a raised platform 30 by 20 yards [c. 27m by 18m] and 1 to 2 feet [0.3-0.6m] above the adjacent ground level marks the spot'. Hartnett also records that he was informed locally that this is believed to be the old parish church of Aglish and that the ground has never been tilled (ibid.).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
