Teampuill Chaon
Teampuill Chaon submitted by uisdean : Remains of the NE corner of Teampuill Chaon. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Remains of church dedicated to St Congan or Comgan (Chaon or Chomhghaim in the Gaelic) about 300 yards from the sacred spring of Tobar Chaon.

The ruins are in a sorry state, covered for the most party in grass and weeds, but some courses of stone remain visible in the SE corner of the church.

For more details on St Comgan see the entry on Tobar Chaon.
