A rough field of pasture in Folkstown Little, County Dublin, carries the local name "chapel meadow," a designation recorded as far back as Healy's 1975 account, and the 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marks the spot plainly as "Site of chapel." No walls break the surface. No stone marks the ground. The chapel itself has effectively vanished, absorbed into a sloping field that runs down towards a stream, with a tower house standing on the far bank to the south.

What the landscape refuses to show above ground, archaeology has begun to recover below it. Excavations by Long in 2010 and Kyle in 2011 uncovered, in the fields immediately to the east, the remains of what appears to have been an organised medieval settlement of considerable extent, roughly 420 metres along a north-west to south-east axis and perhaps 180 metres wide. Among the finds were a metalled trackway, at least two dry-stone buildings, several metalled surfaces, possible wall remains, and cereal drying kilns, which were small stone structures used to dry harvested grain before storage or milling. Radiocarbon dating and ceramic analysis placed the settlement in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. The excavators interpreted it as a village or hamlet of at least five or six medieval structures. Kyle suggested the chapel likely served the religious needs of the people who lived there, most probably tenants of the de Rosel family, the local landholders of the period.

The site sits in working farmland and there is nothing to locate or examine at ground level. Its value for the curious visitor is more conceptual than visual: standing in a field whose name has preserved a memory that stone no longer confirms. The tower house visible across the stream to the south is a useful point of orientation, and the wider area repays attention as a landscape in which a reasonably complete medieval community, chapel included, once functioned and has since almost entirely disappeared from view.
