Monument record 9 - TEAMPULL NAM MANACH, RONA

HW83SW 7.

A chapel 'Teampull Nam Manach' is said to have existed outside the graveyard and 15 yds from the east end of the church (HW 83 SW 1). It has an altar 4' square by 3' high, with a round grey stone on the top. It is said to have been destroyed about 1450, but the altar and some of the walling still stood in 1800. If accurate the site is now buried under cultivation ridges, but some 15' east of the oratory and outside the cashel is an enclosure about 15' square internally, bounded by a thick turf and stone wall in which no definite entrance could be detected, and it may conceivably be identifiable as 'Teampull nam Manach' although not oriented. The enclosed area is filled with a mass of loose bare stones as though it had been used as a dump in relatively recent times.
