Site of Templebeg Macduagh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Templebeg Macduagh stands one hundred metres southwest of the Kilmacduagh cathedral, its almost square footprint marking a smaller church within the monastic complex. Only a three-metre section of the north wall survives, built of undressed mortared blocks with a visible rubble core, while modern drystone walls now cover the foundation lines. The contrast between ancient rough stone and later local rebuilding suggests a place continuously shaped by human hands rather than abandoned to decay.

Part of the monastic complex at Kilmacduagh: located c. 100m to the SW of the cathedral (GA128-034004-). This building (8.5m E-W; 7.3m N-S) is almost square in plan. Apart from its foundation lines, only a short section of the original N wall (L 2.8m; H 3m) survives. It is composed of undressed mortared blocks with a rubble core and is visible at the E end of the wall. Modern drystone walls now overlie the foundation lines and there is a modern entrance in the S wall.
