Description
In pasture, c. 65m W of Brigown church (14400) and graveyard (14549), which lie within early ecclesiastical site (13877). Not marked on 1842 and 1905 OS 6-inch maps.

- CO019-030002 Round tower
Description
Within SW quadrant of graveyard (14549). No visible surface trace of tower 'which stood 30 yards from the S.W. angle of the church, and fell, in the memory of several people' (Smith 1750, vol. 1, 346). According to Moore (1889, 225), 'this tower appears to have remained intact until the year 1720, when a violent storm overthrew the greater portion of it, leaving only a fragment 15 feet in height standing'. In 1807 base of tower, then reduced to ground level, removed to furnish stones for building of nearby glebe house (since demolished) (Brady 1863, 70). Tower seen to be resting on square foundation, at one corner of which was fragment of large stone, inscribed with three rows of letters: 'letters H, U, and O could be distinguished. A letter shaped like P was repeated more than once, as also C or G' (ibid.). Moore (1889, 225) suggests that stones from round tower were 'built into the south-west angle of the wall surrounding the ruin and burial-ground, and are placed very near the ancient site of the tower...judging both by their shape and colour...they are twelve in number'. External SW corner of graveyard (14549) is rounded, built of large squared well-coursed stones of sandstone. Brigown described as having an ecclesiastical tower and a church when attacked and plundered by Norsemen in the year 839 (ibid., 222). The Crichad an Chaoille (Power 1932, 31, 52) mentions that Brigown had its own 'aistre', a minor ecclesiastical officer responsible for bell-ringing.

B. Power). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

- CO019-030004 Church
Description
In centre of graveyard (14549), within early ecclesiastical site (13877). Ruinous church consisting of nave (23.1m E-W; 10.1m N-S) and chancel (9.1m E-W; 8.2m N-S). West wall of nave entirely missing, otherwise walls stand to full height except top of E gable of chancel. Extensive repairs in late 19th century included 're-erection of a portion of the south wall at the junction of the nave and chancel; the building of a doorway in the south wall, and the refacing of the whole of the north wall of the nave' (Moore 1889, 225); more recently minor repairs carried out by Cork County Council. Original portion of S wall of nave built of rectangular blocks of sandstone in courses, terminating in anta at W end (Wth 0.9m). Slit window near E end of wall, and doorway near W end are both 19th-century constructions. Inserted over door lintel is perforated stone, possibly a cross base. Top portion of graveslab has been inserted into outer wall face just W of door: tapering slab incised with seven-armed segmental cross on shaft, with fleur-de-lis terminals, probably 16th century (pres. comm. D. Maher). North wall of nave appears to be largely rebuilt, it is noticeably thicker (Wth 1.35m) than S wall (Wth 0.9m); it has two slit windows. Chancel arch (H 3.1m; Wth 2.36m) is pointed arch of limestone, the central portion lower and carried on tapering terminals, edges chamfered; plain jambs to opening. Gable above stands to full height, though clearly reconstructed; limestone flashing for nave roof on W face. Chancel has central window: splayed and lintelled embrasure, with flat-headed light divided by two mullions (mullion to N is replacement), covered by hood moulding with stepped terminals. South wall has narrow blocked window towards E end, head of light round-arched with simple rebate externally; jambstones, which don't match head, are moulded with two fillets; two similar jambstones recently built into top of E gable. Towards W end of S wall is round-arched doorway with bowtell-moulded jambstones, outer roll filletted, moulding carried up around arch except two uppermost voussoirs which are not filletted; lower jambstones missing. North wall featureless; memorial to Kingston family of Mitchelstown Castle (14918) built against inner face. Interior of church packed with burial plots. Earliest part of church probably S wall of nave with anta, which is Romanesque in character; jambs of window and door in S wall of chancel may be 13th century; chancel arch 15th/16th century in appearance but E window probably early 17th century. Ruin of parish church of Brigown. Listed in Papal Taxation of 1291; reported 'in repair' in 1615, and 'in pretty good repair' in 1694 although 'much abused, damnified by the Irish in the late war' (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 65-68). In ruins by 1774, when replaced by chapel-of-ease near Mitchelstown castle (14445) (ibid., 70). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

Description
On S bank of Gradoge River, on main Cork-Dublin road. Listed as a market town (called Brigon) in 1299 (O'Brien 1993, 94), but little known of settlement here until early 17th century when it became a possession of Sir William Fenton, who obtained grant for market in 1618 (Power 1996, 10). According to MacCarthy-Morrogh (1986, 169), 'the place thrived, for the depositions (1641) provide the names of thirty residents, the majority of which were artisans'. Location of this settlement probably in vicinity of King's Square (14788) and nearby church (14445) and castle (14317) (pers. comm. B. Power). In 1750 Mitchelstown had 'a pretty market-house, built of hewn stone, and some good houses' (Smith 1750, vol. 1, 346). By 1831 it contained 535 houses, 'most of which are well built and of respectable appearance' (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 372).

- CO019-164 Burnt mound
Description
A spread of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was identified during archaeological testing in advance of a housing development on the outskirts of Mitchelstown. Subsequent excavation revealed a layer (3m x 2m; D 0.08m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil that covered four similar circular stake-holes (0.07m x 0.065m x 0.14m) with vertical sides and rounded bases. The excavator suggested that the stake-holes might represent the remains of a wind-break structure.

- CO019-165 Enclosure
Description
The WNW arc of a possible circular enclosure, defined by a fosse, was identified following archaeological testing in advance of development on the outskirts of Mitchelstown (Carroll 2006b, 41). Subsequent excavation revealed a large curving fosse (L. c. 34m; D 0.5-1.5m; Wth 2.3m) with a possible palisade trench located immediately E of and in line with the fosse along its S half. A large quantity of metal slag and charcoal were recovered from the fill at the N end of the fosse. Several small pits and linear features, located both inside and outside this section of the fosse, also contained slag and charcoal. No datable finds were recovered from the fosse.
