The National Monuments Service's description
Near N end of graveyard (CO082-02101-); fragmentary remains of C of I parish church of Kilmichael, apparently built between 1700 and 1728, closed for worship in 1910 (Brunicardi 1913, 43-4). Brunicardi (ibid.) described the church as 'a rectangular building 40ft 8in x 24ft 6in, with a small porch in the west end....there are three Gothic windows on each of the side walls, and one in the east wall....the church is fully furnished inside but everything is in disorder and bears signs of decay'. All that stands now is a length of the S wall (L 22m; Wth 0.65m; H 1.6m) and a short return of the W wall (L c. 2m).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
