What is recorded here
No wall or roof remains, only a cross symbol on a 1947 map and a north-facing slope hidden by scrub. The place may have hosted a nineteenth-century Roman Catholic chapel, yet no stone now marks the altar or pews. Forgetting has done what decay cannot: it erased the shape of worship while leaving behind a coordinate and a name.
On N-facing slope in area of scrub and woodland. No visible trace survives; the site is marked simply as 'Graveyard' on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map but this probably refers to the associated CBG (GA081-007002-). All that appears in 3rd ed. (1947) is a cross symbol alongside the site name. Possibly the site of a 19th-C R.C. chapel.
