What is recorded here

The site if the parish church of St Bridget is depicted as a small structure (dims c. 10m E-W) within a small rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 30m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) on the S side of Bride St. on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is now within the grounds of Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption. It was attached to the hospital of St John of Jerusalem's Wexford house (WX037-041----) at the time of Dissolution (Hore 1900-11, vol. 5, 152). There are no visible remains of the church or graveyard at ground level. 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: 20 December, 2012

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.
