What is recorded here

Templequain holds a lost graveyard where a rampart and fosse still mark an acre now buried under little mounds and foundation remnants. The church and graves vanished from human memory, leaving only shape and suggestion behind the soil. Whatever stood there has returned to the earth, yet the boundary remains visible enough to imagine the dead beneath it.

Unlocated church within townland that is described by Carrigan as 'The church (LA033-031001-) stood in Mr. Michael Guilfoil's "church acre", within an irregular area, an acre in extent, enclosed by a rampart and fosse still traceable. The exact site of the church and graveyard cannot be determined, as the enclosure (LA033-031003-) is covered over with little mounds and remains of foundations, and no graves or head-stones are now to be seen' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 346).
