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.'
