• CO025-072001 Graveyard
  Description

  On E side of road. Subrectangular graveyard (55m NNW-SSE; 40m WSW-ENE), with curved boundary at NNE corner. Enclosed by stone wall; entrance with fine wrought-iron gates at S end of W side. Graveyard planted with trees, now partially cleared. In occasional use; oldest headstones in N half, oldest noted dated 1740; Buckley (1904-6, 440) noted stone dated 1715. Ruin of medieval parish church of Clenor (14407) N of centre; ruin of C of I parish church (14710) S of centre. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

• CO025-072002 Church
  Description

  In NW corner of graveyard (14562). Ruinous remains of rectangular church (c. 20m E-W; c. 7.57m N-S. Only south wall of structure now stands, divided into two distinct parts. Line of N wall largely covered by graves, but short length of footings (L 6.2m) visible to-W-of-centre. Western part (L 9.1m; Wth 1.1m) of S wall built of large rectangular roughly coursed limestone blocks; broken off at W end; terminates to E in butt-end, with scar inside of former cross wall. Several corbels project from external wall face, close to top. Eastern part of wall narrower (Wth 0.86m; L 10.89m), built of random-rubble limestone with occasional sandstone blocks. Doorway towards end has square-set lintelled embrasure (relieving arch overhead); limestone door surround has chamfered edge, and pointed arch. Towards E end of wall is window with splayed and lintelled embrasure; single ogee-headed light, with recessed spandrels. Close to E end of wall is square-set piscina niche with pointed arch. Sandstone block inserted into external face of wall, mid-way between door and window, has worn carving of head with bulging eyes and eyebrow ridges. North wall stood in 19th century when described by Windele (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 2, 192) as having 'no windows'; Buckley (1904-6, 20) described '11 feet of the base of the north wall 3 feet in height, and one foot ten inches in width'. South wall now terminates to W at roadside wall; this close to full length as Windele gave length of church as 70ft (21.33m). Power (1932, 99) mentions 'a pointed doorway' in W gable but this probably refers to door in S wall. Remains of parish church of Clenor. West end of S wall and carved head probably Romanesque; E end of S wall with door and window are late medieval. Corbels at W end suggest former annexe. Described as one of chief churches of Tuath Muighi Finne in Crichad an Chaoilli (Power ibid., 30). A church here mentioned in Papal Taxation lists of 1291; reported 'in ruins' in 1615, abandoned by 1694 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 114; Crowley 1996).
