The National Monuments Service's description

Templemoyle ecclesiastical complex consists of a modern rectangular graveyard. To the N is a sub-rectangular area 12m E-W, 10.4m N-S with a level interior enclosed by a stone wall 1m high (DG004-052001-). A small stone cross (DG004-052003-) stands in the interior. Beside the cross there is a roughly square-shaped boulder (H 0.5mx 1m x 0.5m) which is known locally as the Mass Rock (pers. comm. Landowner). Nearby, but now destroyed was a holy well (DG004-052004-) and a dallan or pillar stone (DG004-052007-) dedicated to St. Adomnán (Ó Muirgheasa No. 92).
