R. C. Chapel (in ruins)

Located on a fairly level landscape, and described as 'R.C. chapel (in ruins)' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This could be an estate chapel, or private chapel, of Cullenstown tower house (WX046-046001-), which lies c. 200m to the WNW. The foundations of a rectangular structure (ext. dims 7.85m E-W; 4.2m N-S) are within a rectangular grass-covered enclosure (ext. dims 35.5m N-S; 19m E-W; int. dims 33.8m N-S; 14.8m E-W) defined by a low bank or the remains of a wall (Wth 2.5m; H 0.4m). One headstone commemorating Hugh Monro Robertston, probably from a shipwreck and dated 1819, is visible. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 19 August, 2013
