What is recorded here
Old Chapel, County Mayo, Ireland. The 1838 OS 6-inch map and the 1920 edition both marked the site of the old chapel. A rectangular outline, about ten metres east-west and six metres north-south, remained visible in the first half of the twentieth century as low sod-covered foundations with a gap in the east wall. By 1987 no trace was left.
This chapel is indicated as 'Site of Old Chapel' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as 'Chapel (Site of)' the 1920 edition. The outline of a rectangular building (c. 10m E−W; c. 6m N−S) was still discernible in the first half of the 20th-century, defined by low sod-covered foundations, with a gap in the E wall (SMR file). An inspection in 1987 found no visible trace of the chapel.
