National record
National Monuments Service record for CO074-036

Gill Abbey, called after Gilla Aedha O Muidhin its first abbot; founded by Cormac MacCarthaig, c. 1136-37 for Augustinian Canons, probably with Connacht connections (O Murchadha 1985, 31-42); possibly not at first under full Augustinian rule. In 1196, Anglo-Normans of Cork burned 'the sanctuary' for fear it would be occupied by 'the men of Desmond'. Remained largely in Irish hands throughout the Middle Ages. In 1541 noted that all buildings on site necessary for use of farmer, James, Earl of Ormond. Canons appear to have been forced to leave 1542-4. Site of abbey now a park; no standing remains visible. Some decorated stone from site, now in Republican plot in St. Finbar's cemetery at Wilton; set into pointed niche are two human heads (13th century?) and latin cross (Bradley et al. 1985, 79-80); Bradley and King (1985) suggest Romanesque heads, now in St FinBarre's cathedral (CO074- ), may have come from here. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
