Temple Melaghlin This church, dates from the thirteenth century. It was named after the Melaghlins who were the kings of Meath. Temple Melaghlin (also called temple Ri, meaning the king's church) is a simple rectangular church.
It is built in the Irish, as opposed to the Anglo-Norman, tradition only having windows in the east wall and the east end of the south wall. The two tall round headed windows in the east wall which have a continuous moulding on the inside. This is a traditional style of architecture peculiar to the west of Ireland.
	The doorway in the south wall shows evidence of having been rebuilt at some stage probably due to an attack by the Vikings or the Irish. Another feature of the building is the corbels at the outer corners which held the barge boards of the roof.
