No headstones, no carved slabs, no traces of inscription. Yet somewhere beneath the grass of this low rise in undulating Westmeath pasture, human bones have been found, turned up when a fosse on the eastern side of the enclosure was deepened. What survives above ground is a roughly D-shaped earthwork, around 46 metres north to south and 35 metres east to west, its curved boundary defined by a low scarp and its straight eastern edge formed by a field boundary that postdates 1700. At the northern end of that enclosure, a church once stood. It has been levelled so completely that it leaves no obvious trace to the casual eye.

The 1837 Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the whole enclosure as an earthwork, suggesting the site had already long fallen out of active use by then. The Boyd Belvedere Maps of 1818, held at Westmeath County Library, label the area simply as "Old Burial Ground", a designation that carries a certain melancholy finality. How much older that ground might be is harder to say. The Down Survey map of 1654, which documented the parish of Clonfad, shows no church at Templeoran at all, meaning either the building had already disappeared by the mid-seventeenth century or it was too minor to merit inclusion. The name Templeoran itself contains the Irish word teampall, meaning a church, so some religious structure was here long enough to fix itself into the local placename. Templeoran House, a later establishment, sits around 600 metres to the south-west, a reminder that the landscape around this quiet mound was eventually absorbed into an estate setting, whatever its earlier ecclesiastical function.
