Description
St. Gobhan's Church is a small outbuilding that was converted into a church, believed to be the smallest in Ireland. The building was initially surveyed during the First Survey but was not listed. A partial survey was conducted during the Second Survey, as it was deemed not significant enough for a full survey. It has a pitched roof covered with artificial slate, featuring boxed eaves and bargeboards. The walls are painted and partly rendered. A notable feature is an exposed stone pilaster on the east gable, which supports a bell and bears a Latin inscription, translated as "I see only the hours of the rising sun." The building is located in the townland of Templastragh. It has since been demolished and is not a listed building.
