The National Monuments Service's description
According to Power (1952, 152) the 'Chapel Field' at Englishtown was so called because of a Penal church. The field is still known (WA023-047001-), and a conglomerate bullaun stone (dims. 0.6m x 0.5m; H 0.4m) with a single basin and a shallow scooped-out feature is kept nearby (WA023-078----).
