Site of Church — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Marked faintly as a rectangular structure (dims c. 20m E-W; c. 8m N-S) described in gothic lettering as the site of a church on the 1839 ed. of the OS-inch map. It is situated on a slight rise. The site of Rathumney church is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by stone-clad earthen banks, but the W part of the graveyard is overgrown and inaccessible. There are no visible remains of a structure at ground level. The site of St Margaret's Well (WX040-015----) is c. 480m to the NW. It may have served as a private or estate chapel for Rathumney castle (WX040-028001-) c. 350m to the NW. 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: 21 February, 2013

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.
