The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a subrectangular feature (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 12m E-W) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as 'Site of chapel'. It is located at the lowest point in a level landscape. This is a slightly sunken grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims. c. 30m E-W; c. 18m N-S). It may be the site of a Catholic church but there are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burial at ground level.
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.
