What is recorded here

Associated with the monastic complex at Kilmacduagh. Aerial reconnaissance (ASGAP Roll 267, 1-3) revealed earthworks in the fields to the E, S and W of ‘Templemore’ (GA128-034004-). No discernible pattern is evident and they are not visible at ground level, apart from that to E where a curving bank may indicate the line of an ecclesiastical enclosure (GA128-034015-) that surrounded ‘Templemurry’ (GA128-034014-).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA128-034013
