The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape, with a small SSE-NNW stream that flows into the Kinnegad River flowing through it. The church of Templeavy (ME046-003----) and its graveyard (ME046-003001-) are within an oval ecclesiastical enclosure (dims c. 145m N-S; c. 110m E-W) defined by a fosse that is best preserved S-W-N (at W: Wth of top 7-8m; int. D 1.4m; ext. D 0.8m) but is still traceable throughout its extent. A S-N field bank and hedge with an accompanying drain, which forms the townland boundary with Cappaboggan to the E, divides the enclosure unequally with the greater part in Baltigeer, and this boundary bifurcates to ENE and SW towards the S edge of the enclosure.
