The National Monuments Service's description
On high ground overlooking Lee river, on N side of Glanmire road, above former docks. Known as sailor's church; its tithes were at one time appropriated to leper hospital of 'Glenmaggyr' (Glanmire?) and 'its burial ground continued in use long after the church itself had fallen into decay' (Bolster 1972, 301). Not marked on 1842 and 1902 OS 6-inch map; 'site of' on 1950 map now part of entry to 19th century house. According to Whyte (1986, 19), 'the only remaining relic .. is a small circular mound of stones' on the W boundary of garden, c. 100m to N; 'overgrown .. believed to be part of the chancel of the early church.' No structural remains visible.
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.
