Recorded monuments
- DG099-016 Church
Description
Marked 'Templemealaghan site of' on the OS 6-inch maps. There is now no trace of the church (DG099-016-) or burial ground (DG099-016001-) marked here. In 1847, Fagan recorded that a church had been 'recently demolished' by the landowner and that it was said to have had 'doors and windows of the gothic order, cased with cut stone, and preserving some human heads and other devices' (Bk. 14, 14). A sketch of this ruin is preserved among the OS memoirs. The site, a natural mound known as 'the church mound', is situated in good land. 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).
