On N side, former C of I parish church of Macroom (CO071-050002-), on site of ancient parish church; now undergoing renovation as visitor centre. Inscribed headstones date from 1780s (McDonnell 1917, 20). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

- CO071-050002 Church
Description
In graveyard (CO071-050002-), in Macroom town; former C of I parish church of Macroom. Church consists of rectangular nave with shallow apse, entrance porch near W end of S wall and 2-storey tower attached at centre of W gable. Nave lit by three windows in S wall with perpendicular-style tracery; apse lit by four pointed lancets; some late 19th/early 20th-century stained glass. Limestone baptismal font of 19th-century appearance. Apse buttressed; porch and tower have clasped buttresses, formerly surmounted by pinnacles. First floor of tower has louvred opes for bell loft. Described by Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 329) as 'a small modern edifice in the later English style, with an enriched porch, and is attached to the tower of the ancient structure'. This latter may be structure 'in good repair' in 1669 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 318). Church itself described as 'rebuilt' in 1824 (ibid., 321); attributed to George Richard Pain (Killaninand Duignan 1962, 364). Nave contains memorial plaque dated 1712, noted by Smith (1750, vol. 1, 181). Nave and tower may have been extensively remodelled in 1824, when apse and porch added. Interior remodelled again in 1898 (Cole 1903, 232). Deconsecrated in 1990 and currently (1994) undergoing renovation as visitor centre.

- CO071-151 Building
Description
The exact nature of a building named 'turret' on the 1842 OS 5-foot plan of Macroom Town is not clear. Macroom is not listed by Thomas (1992) as a walled town so it is unlikely to be a mural tower. The function of this structure is not known. It is no longer evident on the ground (Zajac et al. 1995, 69). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
- CO071-156 Historic town
Description
A small settlement is marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) Barony map on the E side of the Sullane River and in the vicinity of the present day town of Macroom (Maigh Chromtha). The terrier of the Down Survey Map of Muskerry Barony recorded that, 'The places of note are the towne and castle of Macrumpre [Macroom] being a market towne, one of the places of residence of the Lord Muskry, the castle being a faire and strong pile with a bane [bawn], divers houses a fort and severall offices' (Hib. Reg.). The historic town of Croom is depicted as a cluster of dwellings arranged in a linear fashion to the E of Macroom Castle (CO071-049----) and Church (CO071-050002-) on the 1655-9 Down Survey map of Macroom parish (NLI, Ms. 712-3). The terrier of the Down Survey parish map recorded in 'this Parish is the Castle and Towne of Mackrompe [Macroom] consisting of severall good Towne Houses and large cabins and in the same is a Marckett kept once every weeke' (ibid.). The present Main Street follows the line of the linear settlement depicted on the Down Survey parish map. According to Zajac et al. (1995, 67) 'a settlement may have existed in Macroom during the 13th century when a castle was built here adjacent to a fording point on the Sullane river. Until the mid-19th century the town was the joint property of the Earl of Bandon and Robert Hedges Eyre. It became the sole property of the latter who was responsible for several improvements in the town including the rebuilding of the present market house and alterations to the castle transforming it into a modern mansion. Among the industries established in Macroom in the 18th century were a distillery and a woollen mill. Rock salt was also brought from England via Cork and distributed from the town for use in salting butter for export. In the 19th century flour mills and tanyards were established.'
