What is recorded here
There is no trace of 'Templemonaghan' the 'old church' marked on, the OS 6-inch maps. It is traditionally believed to have been the site of an 'Abbey' and was situated in cultivated land on the S side of the valley of the River Finn.
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
