The site comprises a modern rectangular graveyard measuring 22 metres north to south and 20.5 metres east to west, whilst to its north lies a smaller sub-rectangular enclosure. This secondary area, stretching 12 metres by 10.4 metres, features a level interior surrounded by a stone wall standing one metre high, suggesting it once served a specific ceremonial or ecclesiastical purpose.

The complex was once part of a larger sacred landscape dedicated to St. Adomnán, though much of it has sadly been lost. A holy well that once stood near Aughnaclay National School drew pilgrims who performed the turus, a traditional pattern of ritual prayer and movement. Beside the well stood a dallan, or pillar stone, which held particular significance in local healing traditions; those suffering from ailments would rub the affected parts of their bodies against the stone whilst making their rounds. Writing in 1936, the scholar Ó Muirgheasa documented these practices, though he noted even then that the pillar stone had already been destroyed.

Today, whilst the well and stone are gone, the surviving enclosures at Templemoyle continue to mark this spot as a place of ancient devotion. The site forms part of County Donegal’s rich archaeological heritage, documented in the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, which catalogues field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century. Though diminished from its former extent, Templemoyle remains a tangible link to Ireland’s tradition of localised saint veneration and the healing rituals that drew communities to these sacred places for generations.
