  Description

  In centre of graveyard (CO097-05406-), at E end of Inishannon. Ruins of rectangular church (int.: 15.5m E-W; 7.28m N-S) to which have been added: semicircular apse (int.: 3m E-W; 6m N-S) on E gable; tall 3-storey castellated tower (4.7m N-S; 4.6m E-W) against outside of W gable; and one-storey annexe (5.2m N-S; 5.5m E-W) at centre of N wall. Two window opes with segmental arches in both N and S walls; wide central window in apse missing upper part; blocked (when tower added) window high on W gable with segmental arch. Tower, with string course between floors, has narrow pointed window opes on each floor; shallow masonary pillasters at each corner.

  Description

  In a wooded valley on the N bank of the Bandon River, at the head of the estuary leading into Kinsale Harbour. Smith (1750, vol. 1, 211-13) refers to Inishannon as 'formerly walled and a place of some note, as appears by the foundations of several castles and large buildings discovered in it.'
