Place & story

The pillar at Chapel

A 2021 proposal by the Wexford Greenway Group describes a triangular pillar at the centre of a crossroads in nearby Chapel. It displays the names Raheen, Coolroe and Chapel. The account records a physical marker of the neighbouring townlands, separately from the group’s proposals for new walking and cycling connections. [2]
