This ecclesiastical enclosure is part of the early monastic complex at Kilmacduagh. It surrounds Templemurry (GA128-034014-), and possibly the cathedral (GA128-034004-) and round tower (GA128-034008-). It consists of a poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (>67m E-W; 62m N-S) defined by a much-denuded earthen bank/scarp (Wth 3.8m; H 0.4m max.), best preserved from E to SE. The county road, running on a roughly N-S axis, cuts through the W part of the enclosure, just to the W of Templemurry. No clear trace of its line survives to the W of the road, though the curving S wall of the graveyard surrounding the cathedral may reflect part of its course.
