What is recorded here

In scrubland overlooking a turlough to the N. On the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map 'Grave Yard' is written across two field to the N of the 'Templemartin Church' (GA096-165----) but its location is not indicated. According to local information, the graveyard was to the S and SW of the church. No grave-markers were noted in this area and the fields to the N of the church were densely overgrown. One natural slab, c. 6m to the S of the church, was believed locally to mark the burial of a priest. Current aerial imagery (OSi digitalglobe imagery) indicates that a large shed has since been constructed to the S of the church.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA096-165001
