Full description
The chapel of St Uny is recorded by Borlase in 1758 (b1) and is described by Blight in 1864 as having little remains left. It appears to have been constructed over or very near to a spring, with a few wrought stones placed around the well (28454), fragments of depressed and segmental granite arches of possible 15th century date (b2). The site of the chapel is shown on the OS maps of 1908 (b4) and 1963 (b7) and the chapel is mentioned by Doble (b5) and by Henderson (b6). The OS in 1960 record that the stones which line the cavity show no signs of working and those referred to Blight were not found during a search of the overgrown hedges in the vicinity, nor anything else which could be associated with the chapel (h1). Russell in 1971 lists the site of a chapel at approximately SW 3999 2892 but records no extant remains (b8).
