What is recorded here
Inchanappa South holds a ruined nine-metre church and scattered broken stones, marking a forgotten parish where baptismal water once flowed through a cracked rectangular font. The graveyard preserves no clear names, only the shape of repeated human ceremony beneath Wicklow skies. It is not a display of grandeur but a quiet witness to loss, recording that people lived, loved and died there before memory faded.
Poorly preserved nave and chancel church (dims. c. 9m x 5.5m) within a small graveyard (WI025-026001-) containing broken headstones described in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 80-81). According to Price (1959, 175) there is a broken rectangular font (WI025-026002-) in the graveyard.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
