What is recorded here

Templemoyle stands in Gortahurk West as a scheduled medieval church and graveyard, preserving the shape of local worship long before modern boundaries. The name itself carries a moyle, a river or channel, suggesting the community gathered where water and land touched. People may have buried their dead beneath open sky, marking generations with stone or memory alone. The site still holds that old rhythm, waiting for attention rather than explanation.
