What is recorded here

Synnott, writing c. 1680 lists a church dedicated to Bridget at Trimmer (Hore 1862, 68; 1921, 59). A small structure (dims c. 10m E-W; c. 6m N-S) described as the 'Site of RC Chapel' is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a level, low-lying landscape. There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burial at ground level in a cereal crop. The site of St Bridget's Well (WX048-007----) is c. 120m to the NNW of the church site. 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: 9 January, 2014

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.
