In pasture on low rise of ground with good views in all directions. Tristernagh abbey (WM011-053---) located 570m to ENE. Sub-circular shaped area (diam. c. 50m E-W; 48m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank which is revetted with a later post-medieval stone wall with entrance gate and stile at SE. Church ruin (WM011-051---) stands in the centre, with base of cross (WM011-051002-) in SW quadrant. Depicted as a small circular-shaped graveyard known as ‘Templecross Burying Ground’ on 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. The circular-shaped graveyard may indicate presence of Early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure (Swan 1988, 13). This curving boundary is clearly visible on aerial photograph taken by Cambridge University in 1969 (CUCAP AYR009).
