Located immediately to E of Templemolaise church (SL001-001009-), within an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL011-011001-).
This is a National Monument (no. 117) in state ownership. This drystone leacht measures 1.52 m east/west by 1.84 m north/south and is 0.7 m high. The sides are formed by well laid flat stones brought to course; the upper surface chiefly consists of larger flat slabs. There are several plain rounded beach cobbles on the surface. There was formerly a cross slab (L001-001022-); this is now in the Schoolhouse [OPW store]. On the south side is appended a low, regular bench, 0.55 m high and 0.35 m deep, also built with flat angular stones.
The above description is derived from the results of a survey of the archaeological monuments on Inishmurray undertaken in 1997-1999 and published in:
Jerry O’Sullivan and Tomás Ó Carragáin 2008 Inishmurrary. Monks and pilgrims in an Atlantic landscape. Volume 1: Archaeological Survey and Excavations 1997-2000. Cork. The Collins Press.
