The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the centre of Magherintemple hilltop enclosure (CV016-099001-). Davies (1948, 95) recorded that the church was a chapel-of-ease and not the centre of a parish and that it is shown with a tower on the 'Escheated Counties Map.' On the ground he noted some masonry among which was a cut-stone fragment possibly from an early window. No visible remains of church at ground level. (CUCAP AVR 32)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
