- CO061-080004 Church
Description
In centre of graveyard (9523), within early ecclesiastical enclosure (9199). Fragmentary remains of two successive C of I parish churches of Aghabulloge. Only sod-covered remains of earlier church survive: 11.3m of S wall, standing to 1.1m internally but with no external height due to rise in ground level caused by burials; at E end similar profile to outline of D-shaped apse (4.2m N-S; 3.6m E-W). East gable (L 7.4m) and short return of S wall (2.3m) of later church stand 5.5m N of S wall of earlier church and 5m W of apse; it seems likely that S wall of later church built on line of N wall of earlier church. Gable has tall, pointed central window embrasure; a timber window frame, now in Carrignamuck castle (9469) is said to have been removed from here. Earlier church built about 1690 and 'thoroughly repaired' in 1828 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 2-3); however, described as 'a small dilapidated structure' in 1837 (Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 12); in 1838 later church erected; it was then that an ogham stone (7960) was discovered builtinto earlier church.

- CO061-080005 Ogham stone
Description
An upright stone (H 1.5m; 0.3m x 0.2m) standing at the head of a grave 20m SE of the ruined parish church in Aghabulloge graveyard (CO061-08002-). An ovalquartzite boulder (0.2m x 0.15m) is cemented to the top. Macalister (1945, 103-5,no. 104) described the inscription as 'on N.E. angle, much rubbed in the middle though in good condition at the ends'. He gives the inscription as ANM CORRE MAQVI UDD [...] METT. According to Brash (1879, 130) 'this stone was formerly held in great veneration, and was called St.Olan's stone; it had a moveable cap of a semi-globular shape, known as the Coppeen Olan'. According to Hartnett (PJH) it was 'alleged to be an unfailing talisman in child-birth cases and was much sought after in other cases of female illness'. He also noted 'that rounds were paid at this stone, in conjunction with St. Olan's stone (CO061-080006-) and St. Olan's well, on the feast day of St. Olan Sept. 5th'.

- CO061-080007 Ogham stone
Description
Discovered in 1838 during the demolition of an 18th century Church of Ireland parish church in Aghabulloge graveyard (CO061-080002-). It is one of two ogham stones from the site, the second (CO061-080005-) remains in situ. This stone is currently on permanent display in the Stone Corridor, University College Cork (for details see CO074-142---- ). It is in a damaged condition but was read by Macalister (1945, 105-6, no. 105) as ANM NETACUNAS CELI VIDETTAS; McManus (1991, 95; 2004, 21, no. 23) considered the first two words 'a rash reconstruction', whilst Power (1932, 21) was of the opinion that it was 'useless speculating as to the original inscription'.

- CO061-196 Water mill - unclassified
Description
In reclaimed land which had originally been poorly drained and marshy, c. 6m to the S of the Delehinagh River. Three well-preserved oak timber beams were discovered in this area during reclamation in the late 1990s (Cleary 1999a). The largest of the beams (L 4.4m; Wth 0.35m; T 0.25m) had two mortises (Wth 0.13m; D 0.1m) cut into either end of the beam. The smallest beam (L 2.3m; Wth 0.35m; T 0.2m) was rectangular in cross-section and was well preserved. One end of this beam was slightly splayed while the other was straight-edged. The third beam (L 2.85m; W 0.3m; T 0.2m) was weathered and irregular in shape. According to Cleary (ibid.), the first two beams were obviously structural timbers and, though more weathered and featureless, the third beam probably also came from a structure. Cleary (ibid.) suggests that they may have been part of a water mill, given their structural nature and their location adjacent to a stream. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
