Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842, 1903 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; mounds of material dumped on area of site. According to Hartnett (1939, 180), single rampart and outer fosse remained with 'indications of an outer bank at the north'; diameter 145ft; entrance to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

In pasture, on NE-facing slope; on low rectangular terrace (13.1m E-W; 6.7m N-S; max. H 1.2m) raised to compensate for hillslope. Plan of church defined by low sod-covered walls. According to Hartnett (1939, 181), S edge defined by line of upright slabs projecting above ground level; other walls were low and sod-covered, with possible opes in centre of W wall and near W end of N wall; W wall appeared to continue to N and S beyond corners of church, probably remains of N-S field fence shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map but since levelled. Exact nature of site unclear. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

This long, narrow stone (2.2m; 0.3m x 0.15m) was discovered in 1982 during drainage works. Lankford (1993, 6-7) read the inscription as ANM MAQQI-LASIR K[O]I MA(Q)QI BIR(R)AC(I)AS or ANM MAQQI-LASIRE(O)N MAQQI BIR(R)ACIAS. However, some of the letters read by him may be from an earlier inscription on the stone. ANM MAQQI-LASIRE MAQQI BIRRAC 'name/inscription of Mac-Laisre son of Berrach' is another possible interpretation. This stone is now in the National Museum of Ireland (see DU018-418----). (Power 1997, no. 7955) This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
