Site of R.C. Chapel — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope. This is a possible Catholic church marked faintly as a rectangular feature (dims c. 10m x c. 10m) and described in italic lettering as the 'Site of R.C. Chapel' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. On a map of 1771 it is in an area called Heuclus, which could be a corruption of the Gaelic Eaglis – meaning a church (Hore 1900-11, vol. 4, 349-50). The foundations were visible c. 1900 (ibid. vol. 4, 345-6) but there are no visible remains now of a structure, enclosure or burials at ground level in pasture. The site of St Helen's Well (WX049-012002-) is nearby. 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. Date of upload/revision: 4 February 2014 Amended: 28 March, 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.
