• CO069-032 Ecclesiastical site
  Description

  In pasture with rock outcropping, to S of road known as 'Bealach Feabhradh, the ancient highway of Cill-na-Martra' (Murphy 1897, 277). Early ecclesiastical site (including site of church known as 'Cill Lachtaín' and ater as 'Cill-na-Martra'), built, according to tradition, in the 6th century AD (ibid.) and associated (Murphy 1898, 17) with the large ancient cemetery of Clohina (CO069-079----). Outline of foundations of church seen by Murphy who described it as 'sixty feet long by eighteen wide, built east and west with the altar in the east and the entrance in the west' (ibid., 17). Murphy noted that church stood' a few yards underneath Bealach Feabhradh' (ibid.) and after demolition rubble was used to build stone fence which now runs along line of this road (ibid.). However, according to local tradition, cairn of stones (7m N-S; 6m E-W; H c. 1.4m) which lies c. 70m S of 'Bealach Feabhradh' and within the burial ground (CO069-079----), is remains of St Lachtaín's church. Associated with church of St Lachtaín is holy well known locally as St Lachtaín's well (CO069-080----); two other holy wells (CO069-030----), also associated with St Lachtaín, lie c. 900m to the SW. Bullaun stone (CO069-055----) located inside roadside fence along 'Bealach Feabhradh' and two other bullaun stones (CO069-024001-; CO069-024002-), now in grounds of Reananeree Catholic Church, were, according to tradition, removed from Cill Lachtaín. Cross slab (CO069-062----) and possible cross slab (CO069-081----) were also located within site. Murphy (1898, 18) described three 'druidic dishes', small in size and made of 'greenish stone, that will ring like iron when tapped', which were also found here. Decorated quernstone and quernstone fragment found on site in 1984 were removed to Macroom museum. According to Murphy (ibid. 276) 12th century shrine of St Lachtaín's arm was 'preserved in this old church', though all other authorities associate it with Donaghmore church (CO050-102002-).

• CO069-079 Burial ground
  Description

  In pasture, to S of 'Bealach Feabhradh the ancient highway of Cill-na-Martra' (Murphy 1897, 277) and within early ecclesiastical site of Cill Lachtaín (CO069-032----). Known as ancient cemetery of Clohina and described by Murphy (1898, 17) as 'very large'. Cleared by order of clergy c. 1835 and divided into two parts by stone fence running E-W (ibid.). On S side of field fence is rectangular area (49m E-W; 20m N-S) enclosed by tone field fence to N and E and by slight scarp (H 0.3m) to S and W; no grave markers noted; known by landowner as burial ground and no tcultivated. However, cultivation of this area in late 19th century revealed several stone-lined graves (L 6-7ft; Wth 26in; D 2ft) covered by flags (ibid.). No visible surface trace of burial ground on N side of fence except for cairn of stones locally known as site of church of St Lachtaín. At point where scarp to SW meets E-W field fence is remains of a circular stone structure (5.3m N-S x 4.4m E-W; max. H 2m), apparently pre-dating field fence; lower courses irregular, of large stones; upper courses of dry-stone walling. Murphy (ibid.) recorded three principal tombs within burial ground; according to local information one contained four underground vaults, roofed with large flags, covered by a mound of earth and stones. The SE tombs were left undisturbed during the clearance and all headstones from burial ground were piled up around two of them. Accordingto local tradition (ibid.), main entrance to graveyard was at NE corner from 'Bealach Feabhradh'; back entrance at W end leading from St Lachtaín's holy well (CO069-080----) and church. Back entrance marked by two pillar stones, one with Ogham inscription (CO069-082----). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO069-080 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In pasture, on S side of field fence and c. 25m W of present edge of burial ground (CO069-079----). Ground water flows S through small opening in field fence, where it is collected in concrete trough; run-off flows SW as small stream. Well, indicated on 1940 OS 6-inch map, is presumably same as that described by Murphy (1898, 18) as St Lachtaín's holy well, situated 'a few yards due west of where the pillar stones stood' which marked the western entrance to St Lachtaín's burial ground (CO069-079----). St Lachtaín's feast day occurred on 19th March and in the past was 'observed with a pilgrimage to his....wells in the parish' (Murphy 1897, 280). Two bullaun stones (CO069-024001-; CO069-024002-), now at Reananarree Roman Catholic church, were once situated near well (Murphy 1898, 18).
