Templenaneeve church, also known as Teampall na Naomh, was likely built in the 12th or 13th century and is dedicated to St Patrick, reflecting the Romanesque style with a round-headed doorway. It is significant as a small but well-aligned church near the important ecclesiastical site of Inchagoill.
