Templemoyle ecclesiastical complex consists of a modern rectangular graveyard 22m N-S, 20.5m E-W. To the N is a sub-rectangular area 12m E-W, 10.4m N-S with a level interior enclosed by a stone wall 1m high (DG004-052001-). There is a possible entrance to the S. E of this is a D-shaped mound (DG004-052008-) of earth and stone, up to 1.5m high and 8m in diameter with its flat edge to the E. Abutting this mound on its W side is a small circular stone foundation (DG004-052002-) 2.2m in diameter. A small stone cross (DG004-052003-) stands in the interior. Nearby, but now destroyed was a holy well (DG004-052004-) and a dallan or pillar stone (DG004-052007-) dedicated to St. Adomnán (Ó Muirgheasa No. 92). The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
