The National Monuments Service's description
Kilcummin (Cill Chuimín Mhór/ the big church of Cuimín) Church: There is no trace of the church (KE035-052----) and burial ground (KE035-052001-) marked in the village of Kilcummin on the OS maps. In the 1840's a portion of the site was cultivated and, during the construction of houses on the remainder, tomb stones were uncovered (OSNB Killiney, 40).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 977. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
