What is recorded here

Templemoyle ecclesiastical complex consists of a modern rectangular graveyard. To the N is a sub-rectangular area 12m E-W, 10.4m N-S with a level interior enclosed by a stone wall 1m high (DG004-052001-). A small stone cross (DG004-052003-) stands in the interior. Beside the cross there is a roughly square-shaped boulder (H 0.5mx 1m x 0.5m) which is known locally as the Mass Rock (pers. comm. Landowner). Nearby, but now destroyed was a holy well (DG004-052004-) and a dallan or pillar stone (DG004-052007-) dedicated to St. Adomnán (Ó Muirgheasa No. 92).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
