Dist:0.5km<br/>This view to north-east from the corner of the field shows the ruined chapel. This appears to be a 13th Century rebuild of an earlier structure. Recent archaeological excavations near the ruin have provided a radiocarbon date of 550AD, suggesting that the site was in use during the early Christian 'Age of the Saints'. The field in which the chapel stands is part of biological conservation project involving restoration of traditional hay meadows (7 acres). Hedgerows and small areas of recently planted woodland are also included in order to restore biodiversity. The view extends from the Old Red Sandstone (ORS) ridge on which the chapel is built to another parallel ridge ('The Ridgeway') also developed on ORS. The broad vale that separates these ridges is floored by Carboniferous Limestone in the eroded core of the Pembroke Syncline. Please note that the chapel is on private land managed exclusively for nature conservation. The field gate is always kept locked to avoid accidental release of grazing animals. The ruin is also potentially hazardous. Should you wish to visit the ruin or the conservation project please call at 'Sea Hollies' or 'Highlands'. These two houses are at the top of Chapel Lane, near to the ruin. Someone will probably be available to show you round (this will be safer and more informative) but if not leave a note with contact telephone number to arrange a viewing.
