Situated on a break of slope with land falling away to the SW, in very undulating, rough pasture with a lot of outcrop and drainage activity. An ecclesiastical site founded by Augustinian canons in the twelfth/thirteenth century (Gleeson 1915, vol. 2, 347). Referred to as the 'rectory of Twomahone' in the Royal Inquisition of 1568 (Stout 1984, 106). Ruins of a medieval church (TN018-010001-) stand in the N quadrant of a roughly trapezoidal-shaped graveyard (int. dims. 65m N-S; 37m E-W) enclosed by post and wire fencing with gateway at W side. In the graveyard there are a number of roughly cut tombstones of mid-eighteenth-century date, and also nineteenth- and twentieth-century headstones. According to the OS Letters the large graveyard was 'not enclosed by any wall or mound' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 91). An aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, S 81/80) shows a large curving earthwork to the E of the church and graveyard. This may be part of a larger ecclesiastical enclosure (TN018-010002-) which originally surrounded the site. Compiled and revised by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of revised upload: 13 February 2015
