St Marys Chapel, Keeill Woirrey

Archaeology

The site of an early medieval chapel or keeill, thought to have been in use between approximately AD500 to AD1000.  The site is depicted as a subcircular mound on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.  No visible trace of the chapel, or of its burial ground enclosure, appears to have survived today, but a sandy knoll is present at the site.  The name of Keeill Moirrey appears to have preserved the memory of its dedication. As the site appears not to have been ploughed over, it is possible that some trace of the foundations may still remain buried here.
