What is recorded here

Six centuries of rain may have broken the chapel above, but the vault beneath still holds its shape. The dead went down western steps into a barrel of shadow, perhaps waiting for mercy or simply forgetting the sky. Rubble and forgotten bones share that small darkness now, undisturbed and patient beneath Meath.

A barrel-vaulted crypt or burial vault (int. dims 3m E-W; 2.35m N-S; H 1.6m plus) with wicker-centering in its roof is under the floor of the chapel (ME046-009----) at its centre. It is accessed by steps from the W and the interior is strewn with rubble. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 August, 2016

Barrel-vaulted crypt, medieval period. It is significant as an example of early stone vaulting technique using wicker centering, indicating advanced masonry skills in a ecclesiastical context.
