In level tillage, no visible surface trace. According to Lewis (1837, Vol. 1, 383) 'founded in 1326, there are no vestiges except the lands of the latter, which are still called the Spital fields'; according to Lee (1966,18) 'this hospital was a lazar house'; Caulfield (1882, 1) locates the hospital 'where the Chapel of S. Michael was...now unknown'. See Excavations 2001, 35 (see Notes) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
