The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope with a small NW-SE stream c. 140m to the NE. This is a possible Catholic church described as a 'Chapel (in ruins)' in italic script on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map in a small graveyard (dims c. 20m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) marked faintly on the same map. There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burial at ground level. Two wells, Tobermogue (WX027-020----) which is c. 130m to the NW and Toberrevagh (WX027-022----), immediately adjacent to the NE, are natural springs.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
