What is recorded here
Templemoyle, also called Ballintemple, Temple Eglish or Templeaglish, marked a sacred anchor in Killylaes and Kilvillis from the late medieval period into modern times. The church and graveyard stood at the heart of local memory, giving identity to families and rituals long before written records reached the area. Its many names suggest a place spoken into shape by generations, each wording preserving a different thread of the same ancient function.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: TEMPLEMOYLE, BALLINTEMPLE ALIAS TEMPLE EGLISH & BALLINTEMPLE OR TEMPLEAGLISH. Recorded period: LATE-MED; MODERN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
