Ballinree – Baile an Fhraoigh – Town of the Heath

6. Templemoling Cemetery. This peaceful site, in a beautiful landscape setting and enclosed by a well defined circular hedge contains the ephemeral remains of an early church site associated with St. Moling. One can also find here a stone reputed to show the footprint of St. Finian. When one visits the site it is easy to understand why early Christians would have drawn spiritual solace from this place of isolated contemplation. The raised, rubble-strewn area in the centre may preserve the outline of a rectangular church. The modern cross and altar demonstrate that the spiritual ethos of the site is appreciated into the twenty-first century.
