What is recorded here

Situated on the S side of the parade ground of Duncannon fort (WX044-015001-). There is no record of a church or chapel in the fort in the 17th century, but a drawing by Thomas Phillips dated 1685 shows a bellcote at the W end of a building which is probably a church (Went 1948, Pl. 1). The church had memorials dating from 1703 or 1728 (Hore 1900-11, vol. 4, 247), but the building no longer survives.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX044-015002
