  Description

  In undulating pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope; in Foyoges graveyard (SL035-067002-).

Described in an inquisition of James I, dated 1619-20, as 'a ruinous cell or chapel called Templenefahoge' (Clyne 2010, 72), the church was referred to in 1836 as 'an old church (ruins) and burial for children and strangers called Killamy' (OSL, 237). There are no visible remains of the 'Bishop's Grave' (SL035-067004-) indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map c. 30m to the NE of the church though there are praying stones (SL035-067005-) at this location. There is a souterrain (SL035-067003-) c. 20m to NW .
