What is recorded here
The church of Teltown (ME017-031----) Situated on a slight rise in the floodplain of the NW-SE Blackwater River, with a N-S section of the stream to the W. The church of Teltown (ME017-031----) included the legendary Eochaid Mac Erc, the last king of the Fir Bolg and the first husband of Tailtiu, the patroness of Óenach Tailten, amongst its patrons (Gwynn 1924, L 157-60) and it could be of early medieval origin. An ecclesiastical enclosure is suggested as a ghost feature by the medieval roadway (ME017-061----) curving around the graveyard N-SE at a distance of c. 40-60m from the graveyard wall (Gosling 2016, 72, fig. 7).
