Description

The site of the former St Caradoc's Chapel, noted by the RCAHMW in 1925 as a shallow oblong depression. It was described in 1811 as a long narrow ruin without a transept and buiult of large smooth beach pebbles with mortar. Its earlier history includes mentions by Giraldus Cambrensis in the 1180s and being granted to Pill Priory in the mid 1200s. Modern LiDAR suggest a distinct square of raised ground with an l-shaped platform to is southeastern edge. The depressions of two culm pits are also visible to the northeast.
