Keeill Vael

Archaeology

The probable site of an early medieval keeill or chapel which would have been in use during the period circa AD500 to circa AD1000. This site was described by the Ordnance Survey as being 'Well-known as the site of an ancient Chapel. Mr Cubbon, on whose land the Chapel stands, removed the remains a few years ago when improving the field.'   The name is now lost but the nearby Chibbyr Vael Well suggests a probable dedication to Michael.
