The graveyard (CO098-037002-) contained parish church (CO098-037004-) of Cullen which was in repair 1615 & 1639 (Brady 1863, vol. 1, 327-8); Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 442) records 'some ruins of the old church'. By 1842 OS 6-inch map shows newly erected C of I church immediately NE of old church, this was concecrated 'under the name of Christ Church' (Brady ibid, 71) in 1849; now reduced to low mound of rubble; no visible surface trace of earlier church. Surrounding this is extensive early ecclesiastical enclosure (5160) (Hurley 1980, 56).
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.
