The National Monuments Service's description
Shown only on first edition map as rectangular area defined by dotted line and named 'Site of Old Building'. Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 429) refers to 'extensive ruins, supposed to have belonged to a religious establishment' in this field. It is not included in Gwynn and Hadcock's list of religious houses in Ireland (1988). No visible surface trace.
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.
