No headstones remain, no grave markers of any kind, and by the time the Ordnance Survey revised its maps in 1903 to 1904, the site had already ceased to be recorded as a burial ground at all. What the first edition six-inch OS map of 1840 clearly showed, defined by a curving boundary line and a field boundary running north-east to south-west, had effectively vanished from the official record within a few decades.

Yet the ground itself tells a more complicated story. Low earthworks survive to the west and north-west of the associated church, forming the remnant of a curving boundary: a bank roughly two metres wide, with a scarp about sixty centimetres high. These modest humps and edges, easy to miss underfoot, describe an arc with a diameter of around 46.5 metres. Aerial photographs taken in May 2003 revealed something more substantial still: the northern half of a much larger enclosure, measuring approximately 146 metres along its north-east to south-west axis. The surviving arc appears to be only the northern portion of what was once a complete, roughly circular or oval enclosure. Circular or subcircular enclosures of this kind are closely associated with early medieval ecclesiastical sites in Ireland, where a temenos-like boundary, a sacred precinct wall or bank, defined the holy ground around a church and its associated buildings. The word "Temple" embedded in the name of the nearby church reinforces this reading, since that element in Irish place-names typically derives from the Latin "templum" by way of the Old Irish "teampall", and is a reliable indicator of early Christian activity, often pre-Norman in origin. Taken together, the enclosure and the place-name point towards a foundation somewhere in the early medieval period, perhaps between the sixth and twelfth centuries.
