The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape at the head of a small E-W valley opening out to the W where a small strand at the base of cliffs (H c. 20m) and the estuary of the Barrow/Nore/Suir are c. 400m distant. It is also on the W side of a N-S road. The remains of the fortified parish church of Templetown (WX049-008001-) are within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by masonry walls at N and E and banks and hedges at W and S. The bullaun stone (WX049-008003-) and graveslab (WX049-008004-) are within the graveyard.
