The National Monuments Service's description
Site known locally as the Chapel bank. There is a local tradition that mass was said here in Penal times. A nearby field called the 'watching park' is where people used to keep watch while mass was being said. Identified by Du Noyer (1866) on Geological Survey maps as 'site of ancient chapel' (pers. comm. Mr Colin Byrne, Briarleas, County Meath).
