The National Monuments Service's description

At S end of Glanworth village, on edge of break in slope above steep drop to River Funshion to E. Ivy-clad stump of masonry (max. c. 1.5m E-W; c. 2.3m N-S; max. H c. 3m), immediately E of concrete shed and on S side of field boundary, only visible remains of church. 1842 OS 6-inch map appears to show this church c. 20 to SW (on site now occupied by grain warehouse); depicted as small rectangular structure (c. 7m WSW-ENE; c. 4m NNW-SSE) and labelled 'Grave Yd. (Site of)' and 'Templealour (in Ruins)'. Photograph of 1912, (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 3, opp. 132) shows stump as it is to-day, though Power (1932, 61) described church as of 'one compartment only, but...strongly built ... walls (Wth 3ft) battered externally, standing to height 4-5ft except on corner (H 8ft)'; this may be description of structure shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Power (ibid.) translates name, Teampull an Lobhair, as 'Church of the Lepers'.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
