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

What is recorded here

No visible stone or foundation remains inside the trapezoidal fort in County Galway, yet the 1838 map still points to the lost chapel within that grassy ring. The building vanished before the 1912 survey, leaving only a symbol and a memory suspended above the eastern marsh. Whatever prayers echoed there were absorbed by the wind and water, erasing the wall but not the shape of the place.

In undulating grassland overlooking marshy land to the E. On the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map, the following is appended to a hachured, roughly trapezoidal-shaped, enclosure named 'fort' in Gothic script: 'site of R.C. Chapel'; the latter is written in Roman script. On the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) the 'Site of' symbol for the 'R.C Chapel' is shown within the interior of the enclosure. No visible surface trace of it survives. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 3 April 2020
