What is recorded here
According to Power (1952, 152) the 'Chapel Field' at Englishtown was so called because of a Penal church. The field is still known, and a bullaun stone (WA023-047002-) from here is kept nearby (WA023-078----).

The church in Englishtown was likely built during the Penal period (17th–18th centuries) by Irish Catholics under persecution; it is associated with a bullaun stone and reflects the clandestine religious practices of the time.
