What is recorded here

Situated beside the road at Teelin Bay pier are the fragmentary remains of a rectangular church, 7.97m × 4.87m internally. The walls are composed of a double face of very large boulders with pinnings and a core of small stones bonded with red-sand mortar. The interior is littered with collapse and some modern rubbish. The N and S walls, c. 1.2m in maximum height, and W gable c. 0.9m high, are featureless. The E gable, 2.6m at maximum height, has a wide central ragged gap which is probably the site of a window. The gable of a factory shed is built almost flush against it and the wall of another shed hems in the church on the S. A quantity of bones were dug up close to the church in the 1890's, possibly indicating a graveyard (DG096-019001-) no longer visible. 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
