Inner wall face plastered and interior used for burials; E half divided between two 19th century plots. Doorway near W end of S wall much destroyed but lower jambs survive with deep chamfer on outer edge. Doorway opposite in N wall has brick surrounds and is late insertion. Lower courses of window in E wall with brick surrounds. Appears to be core of late medieval church much repaired at later date(s). Built against outside of W gable is much ruined and overgrown gabled structure (c. 3.5m E-W; c. 5m N-S), containing railed 19th century grave plot. Parish church of Little Island, in repair 1615 and 1639 (Brady 1863, vol. 1, 209), described in 1700 as 'built with stones and lime, in good repair; there is a pulpit and desks, but no seats; a tomb in the church, belonging to the Courthy's family; the church is about 40 feet long and 20 broad' (ibid); may have gone out of use when parish united to Cahirlag in 1769 (ibid, 210).

• CO075-052 Water mill - horizontal-wheeled
  Description

  On N side of Lough Mahon in inner reaches of Cork Harbour, on reclaimed land on Little Island. Site is in grounds of Mitsui Denman (Ireland) Ltd., Little Island. Timber remains of two tidal mills uncovered here c. 1978 during extension work to factory; one vertical-wheeled and one horizontal-wheeled mill, both dating c. 630 AD and thereby 'the earliest known example of its type in Europ of Asia (Rynne 1992, 63). Horizontal mill site consisted of wooden framing for inlet channel leading to side timbers and plank flooring for millhouse sub-structure (see reconstruction drawing Rynne 1992, 64, fig. 6). Two hollow-log penstocks found out of position but presumably associated with this mill; they are 'wholly unlike the normal type' being 'comparatively short (flume 1, 2.1m; flume 2, 2.03m), but their most striking feature was the height of their sides, some 81cm' (Rynne 1992, 60). Immediately to S, remains of undershot vertical wheeled mill consist of wooden framing for headrace channel, partially wattle-floored, converging on two-piece wooden penstock (L 3.11m; Wth converging 1.3-0.8m) (Rynne 1998, app. 1, vol. 2).
