Temple (in Ruins)

At the foot of a scarp c. 270m SSW of Teampull Mac Duach (GA110-044001-). A rectangular structure (NE-SW; L 6.4m, Wth 2.9m), the SW and W sides of which are formed by the natural face of the scarp while NE and SE sides are defined by the foundations of drystone walls. No architectural features survive. A small rectilinear enclosure (c. 11m by >7.5m) defined by a low grassy bank adjoins it on SE. Doubtful if it is a church, despite the name.
