What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope with a small NW-SE stream c. 140m to the NE. This is a possible Catholic church described as a 'Chapel (in ruins)' in italic script on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map in a small graveyard (dims c. 20m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) marked faintly on the same map. There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burial at ground level. Two wells, Tobermogue (WX027-020----) which is c. 130m to the NW and Toberrevagh (WX027-022----), immediately adjacent to the NE, are natural springs. 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: 17 July 2012

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
