Teachtemple, or Templehouse. — Goods worth 73s. 8^?. ; yearly value qf 

 lands, 40s. ; one church, 40s.^ This preceptory was called Loghnehely in 

 the certificate of 1 Ed. III. It obtained this name from the lake 

 Lough Awnally ( Ath-angaile). In the Annals of Loch Ce the castle of 

 Tech Temple is mentioned (1270), and Templehouse is its modern 

 name. In the taxation of 1302-6 the vicarage was called Kellecath, 

 and corresponded to the modern parish of Kilvarnet. On the sup- 

 pression of the Templars, it passed to the priory of S. John of 

 Eandown, which is stated to have held 16 quarters of land here, and 

 the rectory and tithes.* Archdeacon O'Rorke contends that the castle 

 was built by Mac William Burke in 1262 ; but he is certainly wrong 

 in stating that the Templars had no possessions here.^

 in 1274-5, reduced to £50.«
