Description
In a low-lying area at the junction of a low ridge to the N and the low-lying ground around Ballyallia Lake c. 1km to the S. A new cut for the river Fergus is c. 200m E and N of the church. Templemaley parish church (once known as ‘Maley’ or ‘O’Maley’s’ church (Swinfen 1992, 135)) oriented E-W (int. dims. 15.75m E-W; 5.72m N-S) built of roughly coursed inner and outer faced walls (T 0.75m) with a rubble core. Almost all the walls survive and the S wall is 3.4m high (some rebuilding of the walls has taken place due to collapse and there is some ivy cover). Sloping buttresses support the E gable at N and S (Large 2010, 243-4). Some good quoins remain at the NW and SW angles. The church is entered through a pointed door (Wth 0.91m; H 1.79m) towards the W end of the S wall. The arch of the doorway is chamfered and there is a hanging eye inside on the W side. The inner embrasure (Wth 1.05m; H 1.9m) is rectangular. E of the door is a pointed window embrasure (Wth 0.95m), the head of which is composed of two stones. The ope itself is rectangular and roughly constructed. At the E end of the S wall there is a round-headed ope with a round-headed embrasure (Wth 1.3m). The E side of the window surround is missing. The N and W walls are featureless. The E gable has a pointed lancet window with external rebate within a pointed embrasure (Wth 1.25m) with dressed ingoings. There is a plain aumbry (Wth 0.54m; H 0.42m; D 0.4m) at the S end of the E wall. Westropp (1900-02, 146) cites a date of about 1080AD for this church based on the window styles although he notes the angular two-stone embrasure head might be even earlier. The adjacent river cutting separates the graveyard from a souterrain (CL025-212----) on the other side of the bridge to the NW which may be related in date.

- CL025-213002 Graveyard
Description
A well-maintained graveyard, roughly triangular in shape (110m E-W on the straight S side; curved elsewhere c. 100m NE-SW with the apex at N) surrounding Templemaley church (CL025-213001-), defined by a double-faced masonry wall on all sides except S where there is an iron railing. The graveyard has several 18th/19th century chest tombs, some uninscribed headstones and two crudely carved, possibly early crosses. It is still used for burial. The entrance may incorporate a coffin-resting stone. Archaeological testing (09E0553) by Graham Hull in advance of a graveyard extension failed to produce any related material (Excavations 2009, 24, No. 86). The following images have been uploaded: CL025-213002-_01.jpg General view across graveyard from NE. CL025-213002-_02.jpg General view across graveyard from NW. CL025-213002-_03.jpg Chest tombs.
