Unusual bellcote atop main W gable with classical pediment and entablature; elaborate pediment on N gable of transept. According to 1694 report church here 'much damnified by the Irish in the late war (1641-2), but now in pretty good repair' (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 371); described by Smith (1750, vol. 1, 158) as 'a pretty parish church and steeple'; 1837 report noted that 'when, and at what cost built unknown, enlarged in 1828' (Brady ibid.). Body of church late 18th century in appearance (according to local information built in 1775 but no confirmation of this in Brady 1863), while porch and transept appear to beadditions of c. 1828; porch in style of Pain brothers (see CO087-03601-, CO086-05902-); transept very similar to lodge of Maryborough House (CO074-089---) in Douglas of c. 1830.

• CO044-077 Enclosure
  Description

  In Rathcormack, immediately to the S of a Church of Ireland church and graveyard (CO044-049001-, CO044-049002-) which may be on the site of the medieval parish church of Rathcormack. In 2000 a fosse (Wth 1.9m at top, Wth 0.67m at base; D 1.25m) with a fill of silty loam and occasional flecks of charcoal was revealed in two archaeological test-trenches which were dug in advance of a housing development (Cotter 2002d, 51). A low, barely perceptible ridge, enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 30m), was also noted at ground level inside the fosse especially NW-NE and this was interpreted as 'probably the remains of an enclosing bank (ibid.). Further testing took place in 2003 (Moloney and Gubbins 2003; Moloney 2006b, 72; 2007, 66) and the area was fully excavated in 2004 (Moloney and Kirby 2004). The excavation uncovered 'a series of ditches, anomalous arc-shaped features and an area of burning' (ibid. 6, fig. 3). In the 'primary fill of the large arc-shaped ditch' a sherd of 'green-glazed earthenware' was found which dated to the post-medieval period (ibid.). Also found in the ditch fill was a 'cereal grain assemblage' (ibid.). The excavators concluded that 'both artefactual and archaeobotonical evidence suggests a post-medieval date for activity at the site' (ibid.). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
