The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle to marked S-facing mountain slope in forestry. A small rectangular building (dims. 6m x 3m) immediately outside the W entrance of Templefinan Graveyard (WI016-009001-), identified during a UCD School of Archaeology research and teaching project carried out over three seasons (2004-06). The building, which is defined by low earth and stone walls (H 0.3m; Wth 1m), is attached to the external face of the graveyard wall. Its location immediately outside the entrance to a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (WI016-009002-), suggests that it may have been a pilgrims' hostel or sleeping place for visitors. (O'Sullivan and Warren 2005, 4; O'Sullivan and Warren 2007, 474-5; O'Sullivan and Warren 2009; 563-5)
