• CV013-049001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a natural island in Templeport Lough. Davies (1948, 116) noted documentary evidence for a church here in 1496. Patterson and Davies (1940, 154-6) described foundations of a rectangular drystone-built church (int. dims. 12m ENE-WSW; 5.3m NNW-SSE). They recorded that E wall then stood to a height of 0.9m and that S wall had been destroyed at W corner and another wall of rough ashlar standing about 6m high had been built across it. The W wall according to their observations contains a large rectangular window which they suggested was 'a type unusual in ecclesiastical buildings, in this position'. Within the graveyard they found several querns and architectural fragments indicative of the late 15th or early 16th century. Not visited.
