Situated beside the road at Teelin Bay pier are the fragmentary remains of a rectangular church (DG096-019-). The gable of a factory shed is built almost flush against it and the wall of another shed hems in the church on the S. A quantity of bones were dug up close to the church in the 1890's, possibly indicating a graveyard (DG096-019001-) no longer visible. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG096-019001
