• CO015-046001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, atop hill. Roughly heart-shaped area (210m NE-SW; 170m NW-SE) enclosed by inner earthen bank (int. H 1.5m; ext. H 2.9m to base of fosse) with intervening fosse, shallow NNE->W; outer bank (int. H 1.65m; ext. H 1.2m) W->NNE (top of heart shape); shallow external fosse (D 0.2m) to NNW. In interior is roughly D-shaped enclosure (straight side c. 100m ENE-WSW; projecting c. 100m to SSE) concentric with main enclosure ENE->SW; defined by low earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6m), except for E half of linear side, indicated on 1842 OS 6-inch map, but now levelled; shallow external fosse evident to ESE and WSW->W. Seven radial earthen banks (H 0.4m-1.55m) connect inner enclosure with main outer earthworks. Radial line on W side consists of two parallel earthen banks (5.4m apart) at E end, with only S bank continuing W after short gap, stopping short of small circular enclosure which lies a short distance inside main enclosing bank. Enclosure consists of circular area (9.65m NW-SE; 9.45m N-S) defined by heavily overgrown, earthen bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.7m); interior saucer shaped; loose stone scattered across site. Radial bank to NE stops short of roughly square platform, which lies immediately inside main enclosing defences. Platform (17m E-W; 16m N-S) raised 1.05m above surrounding ground level; interior enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.5m) at SE corner and along S side. Off-centre to W of inner enclosure is site of Kilmacoo church (14398) and graveyard (14546), which probably formed 'an additional original internal division of the site' (Hurley 1983, 61). Entrance of main enclosure is to SSE, flanked by stone pillars and joined to entrance of graveyard by two parallel linear earthen banks (H 0.4m-0.6m) with external fosses; banks 8.1m apart. Break in inner bank of main defences to N; stile across outer bank at this point; this break allows access from enclosure to holy well (13973), c. 110m to NNW. Possible souterrain (13338) in interior. According to MacCarthaigh (1975, 54), locally called 'Cill-ma-cu' and it is said that St Carthage, who was son of Cu, founded a 'little settlement' here.

• CO015-046002 Graveyard
  Description

  In pasture, in centre of early ecclesiastical enclosure (13876). Oval graveyard (c. 50m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.4m) W->NNE, with external fosse (D 0.65m) and by stone wall elsewhere. Probably formed 'an additional original internal division of the [early ecclesiastical] site' (Hurley 1983, 61). Site of Kilmacoo church (14398) in centre. Still in use though much of it overgrown; numerous 18th/19th-century headstones and uninscribed grave-markers noted. At N side of graveyard, walled and railed plot is probably grave of landlord Sankey who died in England but expressed a wish to be buried here (Bowman 1934, 394); Entrance gateway to SSE; passage-way extends SSE to main road, repaired by Cork Co. Council in August 1932 and resurfaced with stones from fulacht fiadh (10383) (ibid.). According to local tradition, drums heard in vicinity when someone from locality dies (MacCarthaigh 1975, 54).

• CO015-046003 Church
  Description

  Within graveyard (14546) of early ecclesiastical enclosure (13876). No visible surface trace of church.
