The National Monuments Service's description
The church of Templenacroha (WX030-022----) could be within an ecclesiastical enclosure that would include the enclosure (WX030-023----) c. 30m to the SE on the other side of an E-W road. A geophysical survey conducted for the Raheen Development Association and aided by the Heritage Council produced evidence of a fosse forming an arc W-N at the W edge of the triangle where the church is located.
