Lost chapel thought to have been located on the eastern side of the Conwy near Llansanffraid Glan-Conwy and Deganwy.
The chapel is listed by A.W. Wade-Evans but also mentioned in around 1700 by Edward Lhuyd. It was located close to the castle at Deganwy in an Irish Life of Modwenna, in which it was the landing place of the turf upon which she, with Brigid, Luge and Athea, arrived in Wales.More information
