Recorded monuments
- CO061-105 Ringfort - rath
Description
In pasture, atop hill. Circular area (diam. 29m) defined by earthen bank (H 1.2m), stone-faced in parts. Break (Wth c. 2m) in bank to ESE. Field boundary which extended N from enclosure removed. 'Some drains 9in wide and 12in deep (part of recent drainage system) cut across the interior' (Hartnett 1939, 271); no visible surface trace. 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
- CO061-106001 Graveyard
Description
In tillage, atop hillock; access across field. Roughly D-shaped graveyard (c. 30m E-W; c. 40m N-S) enclosed by stone wall. No longer in use, last burials in 1930s; inscribed headstones to S of church of 19th and 20th century date; many rows of low uninscribed gravemarkers. At centre, fragmentary remains of parish church of Kilcolman (CO061-106002-). 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
- CO061-106002 Church
Description
In centre of graveyard (CO061-106001-); fragmentary remains of parish church of Kilcolman. Rectangular church (16.55m E-W; 7.7m N-S) of two clear phases: E wall, E end of S wall and most of N wall are remains of earlier church; most of S wall, W gable and W end of N wall, evidently a rebuilding. This is clearly evident near E end of S wall where earlier wall (Wth c. 6.95m) is overlaid by later wall (Wth c. 0.6m). Walls of earlier church only rise above foundation level in SE corner (H 2.5m), including S side of central window ope in E wall, and mid-section of N wall (H 1m). Later walls stand to nearly full height; in centre of W gable tall pointed window ope, three similar opes along S wall, all of 18th-century appearance. Church here reported in ruins in 1615 and again in 1774 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 249), gravestone inside church with date 1807; likely therefore that church was rebuilt in early 18th century but only reused for short period 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
