R. C. Chapel (in Ruins)

Situated in a deep natural gully (E-W) across a headland on the sea coast. A nave and chancel church (dims. 10.2m x 4.4m) of unmortared horizontal slabs with a door at the W end of the N wall. Part of the E wall has collapsed outwards. Probably a penal chapel. Some adjacent natural caves may have been used as Man-made underground passages (WI025-015----) and there is a holy well 150m to the W (WI025-016----). 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. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
