C of I parish church of Kilworth (14718) on W side. Headstones date from early 18th century; also contains some chest tombs and burial vaults. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000).

Comprises rectangular nave (long-axis E-W) with gabled chancel to E and 3-storey embattled tower to W with spire. Hipped projection to N contained private pews of Moore family of Moorpark; built over burial vaults. Nave lit by paired and single lancets. Power (1932, 90) suggests church built on site of earlier parish church. Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 220) describes it as 'an old structure,...thoroughly repaired'. According to local information, built c.1720s. In 1885 considerable structural alterations and improvements were made including addition of chancel, spire, bell etc. (Cole 1903, 224).
