- CO024-050: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCO024-050----. In undulating pasture, broken by rock outcrop; Kilmaclenine Castle (14332) in view to SE. Depicted as hachured roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 55m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured penannular enclosure (NW->SW) on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Roughly circular area (34m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by two low grass-covered earthen banks N->WSW and scarps WSW->W, separated by intervening fosse; second intervening fosse and third low earthen bank N->W; shallow external fosse N->W. Immediately to NW and defining enclosure on NW side is roughly linear rock face (facing SE) c. 2.5m H. Break in inner (Wth c. 4m) and outer (Wth c. 1.5m) banks to SW; middle bank barely traceable E->SW. Interior surface broken by rock out crop; uneven due to quarrying; c. 9m inside rock face is ill-defined low rise, which may suggest that inner bank formed complete circle. To WSW, low wide linear bank extends WSW from bank for c. 10m. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

In pasture, on level plateau overlooking low-lying land to E. Castle (14332) and church (14434) of Kilmaclenine immediately to N and E respectively. No visible surface trace of settlement, but aerial photograph (CASAP) shows series of linear N-S cropmarks in field to W of church which may represent burgage plot boundaries; another photograph (O'Brien 1993, opp. 154) shows similar cropmarks in field to E of castle, S of fortified house (14376). Disused well c. 100m to SE of church said to have been formerly stone-lined with ten steps leading down to it (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 3, 317); survives today as circular depression (diam. 4m; D 1.2m). A N-S road, which 'evidently led towards the old church' traceable for a distance of 'about 150 yards' in field 'about 230 yards' S of church (ibid., 316); 'roadway was about 8 to 10 feet wide; the stones are most carefully laid'. Borough of Kilmaclenine founded by Bishop of Cloyne c. 1238 (Otway-Ruthven 1980, 117); inhabited in mid-14th century by some 27 burgesses, most of them English (ibid.). List of c. 1364-5 includes names of burgesses and the rent and services by which they held their property (MacCotter and Nicholls 1996, 45-49). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

On limestone ridge, with extensive views in all directions. East end of ridge fortified by random-coursed limestone rubble walls (H c.1m-1.5m; T 1.3m) enclosing subrectangular area (c. 40m E-W; c. 30m N-S). Wall follows cliff edge on N, E and much of S sides; sections of wall missing at SW corner and on E side. Angular projection or spur at E end of N wall, with rectangular lintelled ope (H c. 0.5m; Wth c. 0.2m), not now accessible from interior; similar ope at E end of S wall, also blocked. Ramp (Wth 3m) leading up to site at W end of S wall may have been entrance; now grass-covered with sheer cliff-face on each side. Rectangular projection from N wall (2m N-S; 1.6m E-W), probably garderobe chute. Interior uneven with rock outcropping; no surface trace of any structures. Medieval castle of the manor of Kilmaclenine, possession of the Bishops of Cloyne (MacCotter and Nicholls 1996, 29, 37). Deserted rural borough (14638) c. 100m to SSE; church and burial ground (14434, 14594) c. 250m to SE; fortified house (14376) c. 90m to NNE.

On S side of farmyard, overlooked by limestone ridge c. 90m to SSW on which sits Kilmaclenine Castle (14332); site of deserted rural borough (14638) c. 200m to S. Ruined 2-storey cruciform house (see ground-floor plan in Waterman 1961, 255, fig. 14.4); main block (21.6m E-W; 10.6m N-S) missing E wall and E end of N wall; N and S wings set slightly W of centre. South wing (5m N-S; 6.1m E-W) contains entrance door; N wing largely fallen, it fell 'about 1870' (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 3, 319). Main block has basement. Doorway in S wall of S wing; door surround has pointed arch and two yett holes; overhead is rectangular recess which probably contained armorial plaque. Chamber inside (3.6m E-W; 4.1m N-S) lit by window in S wall with rectangular light divided by mullion and transom, with hood moulding; similar window in W wall missing light. Gun loops at N end of E and W walls, covering S wall of main block. In N wall is door, with semi-elliptical arch, giving entry to main ground-floor chamber. Main ground-floor chamber (18.4m E-W; 7.6m N-S) lit by three identical windows in S wall (two E of S wing), each with rectangular light divided by two mullions and a transom (all divisions now missing), with hood moulding. Also in S wall is gun loop covering E wall of S wing. Much-ruined fireplace and window in W wall, further ruined fireplaces W of centre and E of centre in N wall. Door into N wing heavily masked by ivy. Only short sections of E and W walls of N wing survive but each has gun loop covering N wall of main block. Basement of main block now largely filled with rubble; lit by two windows each in N and S walls, which have single rectangular lights. Wooden floor overhead carried by joist holes in N and S walls. First-floor level of main block has door in S wall leading into S wing, directly above door below; window near W end of S wall, directly above window below, with rectangular light divided by two mullions (one now missing). Also in S wall, E of S wing, is much-ruined fireplace; E end of S wall has fallen. At this level, W and N walls are masked by ivy; fireplace and small window in W wall. First floor in S wing lit by window in E wall with rectangular window with hood moulding; light, divided by mullion, now blocked. There appears to have been a second floor in this wing lit by window in S and in W walls, similar in design to first-floor window. Externally there is a continuous string course between ground and first floors, also a string course at eaves level on E and W walls of S wing. Photograph in Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, opp. 305), dating to c. 1866, shows gable with chimney stack atop S wall of S wing (this fell in 1902: ibid., 319), 1st-floor window near E end of S wall of main block and second chimney stack apparently above N wall of main block. Probably built by the Barrys (ibid., 318-20); its close resemblance to Ightermurragh in East Cork (5591) suggests a date for its construction c. 1641 (Leask 1941, 129-31).

Within early ecclesiastical enclosure (13883); deserted rural borough (14638) immediately to W. Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as rectangular area (c. 50m NNE-SSW; c. 40m WSW-ENE) enclosed by field fence to S, W and N, and defined by broken line to E; shown on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps as small area (c. 15m NNW-SSE; c. 20m WNW-ENE) to S and immediately E of church, enclosed by broken line, with field fence to W. Subrectangular graveyard (25m E-W; 15.5m N-S), delimited by ruin of parish church of Kilmaclenine (14434) to N and enclosed by low, wide bank of earth and stone to E (L 6.6m), by shallow fosse (D 0.5m; Wth 2.8m) to S and by earthen field boundary to W. No gravemarkers evident. Caulfield (1882, 12) noted 'cemetery' used only for burial of unbaptised children; an account of 1881 (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 3, 316) describes graveyard as unenclosed, only distinguishable from surrounding fields by moss-grown 'rude stones', and long disused.

Forming N side of graveyard (14594), within early ecclesiastical enclosure (13883); deserted rural borough (14638) immediately to W. Fragmentary remains of church comprising of nave (int. 15m E-W; ext. 8.66m N-S) and chancel (4.4m E-W; 4.6m N-S). Walls of chancel mostly visible as stony band with a drop (c. 0.4m) on the outside; external facing stones visible in parts. At W end of chancel, drop (H c. 0.35m) marks junction with nave. Southeast corner of nave stands (int. H 3m) with short returns of E (L 1.9m) and S (L 2.3m) walls; S wall survives elsewhere at foundation level alone apart from short length (L 3.1m) at W end. North wall survives only to foundation level. Most of W gable stands to a maximum height of 6-8m, heavily ivy-grown; quoins at SW corner are massive; two recent breaches at base of wall. Caulfield (1882, 12) noted entrance and small window 'high up' in S wall; Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 317) noted in 1907 that chancel walls (8ft length then standing) were thinner than those of nave and which appeared to be an addition. Remains of parish church of Kilmaclenine, which served nearby borough. A 'road leading to the church' and 'cemetery' is mentioned in 1364-5 (MacCotter and Nicholls 1996, 46-7); according to Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 316) a north-south road, which 'evidently led towards the old church' traceable for a distance of 'about 150yards' in field 'about 230 yards' S of church, 'roadway was about 8 to 10 feet wide'. Church reported 'in ruins' in 1591 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 272). As a result of serious storm damage in February 2014, the entire west wall of the church collapsed leaving stones scattered within the interior.

Faint trace of large oval enclosure (c. 95m N-S; c. 140m E-W) visible in aerial photograph (CASAP), as shadow site NNW->NNE and E->S and as cropmark of fosse S->NNW. Kilmaclenine church and graveyard (14434,14594) in interior, off-centre to S. Field boundary, which cuts enclosure on N-S axis, kinks where it crosses line of enclosure. Within enclosure, smaller subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) visible in aerial photograph as cropmark of fosse S->N, to W of field boundary, and as curve of present graveyard enclosure E->S to E of field boundary; graveyard forms SE quadrant of this enclosure. The oval enclosure also visible as slight rise S->N and scarp N->SE, in second aerial photograph (J. Monk, March 1998). According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1988, 393), there was an early monastic site at Kilmaclenine, 'probably founded by St Colman mac Leinin of Cloyne (d. 606:AI)'. Hurley (1979, 79) also lists it as an early ecclesiastical site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

In pasture, in gently rolling countryside. Roughly circular grass-covered cairn (c. 34m N-S; c. 30m E-W; max. H c. 1.5m) with wedge tomb (CO024-05602-) in centre; heavily quarried. According to Brash (1843, 272) opened c. 1838 by Rev. Connery, parish priest of Buttevant; subsequently ransacked and large quantities of cairn material removed (resulting H c. 5-6m); composed of 'earth and small rubble' . Mound unusually large for wedge tomb and could be 'secondary feature' where cairn of wedge tomb has been enlarged and re-used for later burials (de Valera and O'Nualláin 1982, 1).

On low ridge in gently rolling pasture; named 'Acuthoge' on 1842 and 1905 OS 6-inch maps. Remains comprise large subcircular cairn (diam. c. 36m; max. H c. 1.5m) (CO024-056001-) with central chamber. Cairn was opened c. 1838 and its material quarried leaving hollowed out area in centre; cairn was then 5-6m in height. Exposed within hollow is open chamber (L 2.2m; Wth 1.5m; H 1.7m at W end, 1.4m at E end), aligned E-W, represented by single N and S sidestones with inset E backstone, and covered by single roofstone. Chamber decreases in height from W to E. Various traditions of objects and bones found with chamber but none are reliable. Structure is similar to wedge tomb but large covering mound is not typical of such monuments and could be secondary feature.
