Recorded monuments
- TS072-002 Church
Description
On a flat raised platform in gently undulating terrain, the ground sloping to the W beyond the graveyard wall. A road runs N-S along the E side of the graveyard and the Lingaun river is c. 170m to the W. Power (1908, 200-201) suggests that this is the church of 'Athnacarbad', which translates as the 'Ford of the Chariots', and is mentioned in the Visitations of Elizabeth I and the Taxation of Pope Nicholas. The church is located in the NW quadrant of a roughly rectangular graveyard (TS072-002002-). Only the foundations of one wall (L 5.9m; max. Wth 0.95m), running E-W, survive. Four limestone architectural fragments are re-used as headstones, including a mullion with chamfered edges, two mullions with hollow chamfers and an external rebate, and a chamfered sill/lintel. A bullaun stone (TS072-002003-) has been fixed onto a stone pier in the E wall of the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS072-002001 Graveyard
Description
On a flat raised platform in gently undulating terrain, surrounded by pasture, with ground sloping to the W beyond the graveyard wall. A road runs N-S along the E side of the graveyard. The remains of a medieval church (TS072-002001-) are located in the NW quadrant of the graveyard. A roughly square graveyard (diam. c. 26m) which is surrounded by a stone wall (H 2m) of sandstone rubble, roughly coursed and capped with concrete. The original entrance in the S wall, E of centre, consists of two stone gate piers, the opening of which is now occupied by stone steps. The earliest noted headstone dates to 1740 and is in the SE quadrant. The headstones are mainly 19th century in date with some 20th century examples. No recent headstones were noted. A bullaun stone (TS072-002003-) has been fixed onto a stone pier at the S end of the E wall of the graveyard adjacent to the present gate access. Four limestone architectural fragments from the church have been re-used as headstones, including a mullion with chamfered edges, two mullions with hollow chamfers and an external rebate, and a chamfered sill/lintel.

- TS072-002002 Bullaun stone
Description
Fixed onto a stone pier (H 0.65m) at the S end of the E wall of the graveyard (TS072-002001-) of Templemichael church (TS072-002----), adjacent to the present gate access. Identified during field survey. An irregular sandstone boulder (dims. 0.55m x 0.5m; H 0.22m) with an off-centre circular depression/basin (diam. 0.35m; D 0.1m). Where the basin is closest to the edge of the boulder, a channel (L 0.0.7m; Wth at top 0.14m; Wth at base 0.07m) runs from the depression to the outer edge. A rounded sandstone stone (dims. 0.15m x 0.12m x 0.11m) rests in the basin. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 30 September 2014
