What is recorded here
No trace survives of an enclosure but the curve in the main road to the West of Templenagriffen may preserve the line of the former western boundary. The long rectangular graveyard is all that remains of the old monastery and it contains the ruins of two Romanesque buildings, Templenahoe and the fragmentary west end incorporated into St. Brendan's Cathedral. The site of a round tower is also known.
