H 1.05m). According to Ryan (1946, 192), also used as 'famine burial ground'. Several gravemarkers noted; one is a portion of the shaft of a cross-slab (CO149-001001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).

• CO149-001001 Cross-inscribed pillar
  Description

  The lower portion (H 0.7m; 0.3m x 0.18m) of an upright sandstone pillar, orientated N-S, stands in a children's burial ground (CO149-001----). The two narrow sides of the pillar are undecorated but both faces have been carved. In the centre of the E face is a tall narrow panel in raised relief, framed by a flat corner moulding in lower relief. Despite an apparent fracture in the upper right-hand corner of the panel 'it is likely to have been the shaft of a cross, probably ringed' (pers. comm. Peter Harbison). The bottom end of the moulding links with a simple Greek meander motif extending across the bottom of the stone and which is of the same high relief as the cross-shaft which rests upon it. Into the W face of the pillar an upright panel has been sunk, its vertical sides framed by a slightly rounded moulding, with incised grooves. Slightly more than the lower two-thirds of this sunken panel is occupied by a 'boxed set' of four squares (each 0.11m x 0.11m), that though badly weathered have been interpreted as 'probably bearing angular fretwork patterns' (pers. comm. Peter Harbison). A horizontal moulding runs across the top of the squares, above which there is a further carved panel too fragmentary for its decoration to be made out. The lower end of the W face has a rough striated surface. A 9th-century date has been suggested for the cross-shaft and the meander motif on the E face of the pillar and a later, possibly 12th-century date, for the decoration on the W face (pers. comm. Peter Harbison). (Ryan 1946, 192) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO149-001002 Mass-rock
  Description

  According to Ryan (1946, 192), a mass-rock was 'reputed to stand on the opposite side of the road [to a burial ground (CO149-001----)]'. Local information confirmed that the mass-rock was located in an overgrown field boundary at the E side of a road and to the E of the burial ground. However, this mass-rock is no longer visible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
