The National Monuments Service's description
On W side of graveyard (LI043-005002-). Length of low wall (L 8.45m; H 0.8m; Wth 0.84m), which has recently been severely repaired, may be remains of W wall of church which was described in 1840 as seventy foot [21m] by thirty foot [9m] with 'the gables nearly destroyed' but side walls standing 'six or seven feet in height' (OSL vol. 2, 10-1); at that stage it was completely masked by an overgrowth of bushes and brambles. Remains of parish church of Temple Glantan (Westropp 1904-5, 403).
