What is recorded here
Templenafertagh holds a Neolithic ring ditch beside a medieval dry-built well and the buried footprint of a church, proving the land has sustained human life across millennia. The well still stands without mortar, its stones fitted by hands that understood water, pressure and time. A graveyard marks the church site, suggesting death and memory belonged here long before records named the place.
