What is recorded here
Site of R. C. Chapel is a church in Ballydermody, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 Ordnance Survey map marked the pastoral site as a Roman Catholic chapel, while name books suggest a children's burial ground may have been attached. It stood about sixty metres southwest of the Killeen stream on level ground, but no physical trace is visible at ground level today.
Located in pasture on level ground c. 60m SW of the SE-NW Killeen stream. This was a penal church marked 'Site of RC Chapel' on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and it is thought to have had a children's burial ground attached (OS Name Books). Nothing is visible at ground level.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
