The National Monuments Service's description
Site of medieval parish church of St. Peter's; first referred to in decretal letter of 1199 but 'it is not until 1306 that there is a clear reference to it as a parish church' (Bradley et al. 1985, 76). Hardiman'smap (c. 1601) depicts single-naved structure without aisles, transepts or tower. Demolished in 1782 and present church built in 1785-8, tower at E end added 1838 (Henchion 1988, 110); now used as store. Remains of graveyard to W (CO074-03404-).
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.
