This elevated ground has served as the local graveyard for centuries, with stone steps leading up to its summit. A flat slab, now largely concealed by vegetation, rests beside these steps, whilst the mysterious ‘altars’ recorded on 19th century Ordnance Survey maps have vanished without trace, leaving only cartographic memories of their existence.

At the heart of the graveyard stand the remnants of Tullaghobegly Church, already recorded as being in ruins when surveyed in 1622. Today, only a fragment of the north wall and half of the eastern gable survive, reaching 2.4 metres in height. The rubble construction has weathered badly; sections of the north wall’s outer face have collapsed over the centuries. The most intriguing architectural feature is found in the eastern gable, where evidence of two distinct building phases remains visible. An earlier window opening, with its characteristic wide splay and narrow, round-headed aperture, preserves its broken lintel and fragments of plaster coating on the soffit. The rear arch, constructed from thin stone slabs, partially survives. A later modification saw a second window opening cut roughly parallel to the first, effectively blocking the original feature, though only its lower courses remain.

The site occupies a prominent position in the landscape, though it sits somewhat paradoxically overlooked by higher ground to the east. Archaeological surveys suggest this location served as both a religious centre and possibly a penitential station, where pilgrims would have undertaken prescribed devotional exercises. The Irish place name Baile An Teampaill translates to ‘townland of the church’, reinforcing the site’s longstanding ecclesiastical significance within the local community.
