In a pasture field in Mulrankin, County Wexford, there is nothing to see at ground level, no wall, no burial marker, no enclosure, yet the field itself carries the memory of a church. The name stuck even after the building disappeared, and it was that name, "the church field", that guided a local recollection recorded in 1940: sometime around 1910, evidence of a structure had turned up somewhere in the middle of it. Nobody could say exactly where.

The church is thought to have served Mulrankin tower house, a fortified residence of the late medieval period sitting roughly 270 metres to the south, and may have functioned as an estate or private chapel rather than a parish church in the conventional sense. It appears in the Civil Survey of 1654 to 1656, a Commonwealth-era land census of Bargy barony, which gives it at least a documentary footing. By the time the Ordnance Survey was producing its six-inch mapping, the church had already gone; it appears on the 1940 edition, but seemingly only as a cartographic acknowledgement of local knowledge rather than a reflection of anything still standing. A little further south, at roughly 160 metres, lies St Bridget's Well, a holy well dedicated to Ireland's most widely venerated female saint, suggesting this corner of south Wexford once held a modest cluster of religious significance, even if almost nothing of it is legible today.
