Tetunny Church (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No wall or stone still stands, but the name survived on a 1902 map, pointing to a lost church near Tetunny Burial Ground in County Donegal. The real building may have stood inside that circular enclosure, while a holy well once glimmered nearby before disappearing. What remains is a place remembered through loss, where faith, burial and water shared one small corner of Donegal.

This record relates to the name 'Tetunny Church (Site of)' first recorded on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1902). The source for the location of this OS representation has not been identified. No traces of an antiquity have been observed here and it seems more likely that such a church would have stood within the present circular enclosure, Tetunny Burial Ground (DG107-073001-), c. 100m to the S. It is most probable that this was an early ecclesiastical site although, apart from the shape, no remains are visible. To the SE was located Tetunny holy well now gone.
