- CO026-105001 Ritual site - holy tree/bush
Description
In pasture, to S of house (The Glen) and close to site of Killuragh church (14128). Fallen tree, known locally to protect from drowning anyone carrying a part of it; local inhabitants carry a chip of it when travelling. Windele, in 1847, refers to 'a beautiful and healthy tree, immensely large, and sacred to St. Cranit' (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 3, 303). Tradition that bell used to ring about midnight when wind blew through the tree; when it was partially destroyed by storm in 1834, a bell, possibly associated with church, was discovered embedded in it (ibid.). Byrne (1896, 59) noted emigrants taking chips from tree until 'at last it disappeared entirely...about thirty years ago'; Grove White (ibid.) suggests that a second tree may have grown from off-shoots. He adds that 'crowds of parishioners came on St Craunat's day to pray at the Old Tree, finishing their rounds at the well at Ballingurrane' (13986) (ibid.).

- CO026-105002 Ritual site - holy well
Description
On S side of walled garden; no surface trace remains. According to local information, this was original location of St Crannat's well until the lady of the house (The Glen) objected to pilgrims visiting well and built walled garden around the site, after which, according to legend, it moved to present location c. 900m to NNW (13986). Alternative reason for relocation of well recorded by O'Reilly (1987, 128) is that lady of house, as was custom, invited travelling man to turn handle of butter churn but refused to give him an offering. Knowing that she washed butter with water from well, he filled his cap with well water and dropped it at foot of rock opposite Monanimy Castle (14368) about 1 mile to SE at St Nicholas' well (14023). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

Referring to church, Windele in 1847 noted, 'its vestiges scarce remain' (ibid.). No visible surface trace remains of church or burial ground. Holy tree (14050) and holy well (14009) c. 40m to E, and c. 25m to N respectively. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
