What is recorded here

The church was depicted as a rectangular structure (dims. c. 12m E-W; c. 4m N-S) on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and described 'Site of Templemovee'. A possible monastery (TS060-107003-), a holy well (TS060-107004-), castle (TS060-107001-) and enclosures (TS060-107005-; TS060-107006-) are located c. 100m to the NW. A group of barrows (TS060-107007- to TS060-107010-) and a cairn (TS060-107011-) have been identified c. 40-125m to the WNW and NW. The church is located on the N side of a small, disused field densely overgrown with nettles and briars, but there is now no visible trace of it above ground. The area appears to have been quarried to a depth of c. 2.6m. Cahill (1982) states that this area 'immediately behind farmhouse ['Rathcoun Hall'] has been greatly interfered with by agricultural activity and dumping.'

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
