 The remains of St. Helen's Oratory, which date back as far as Roman times according to one observer, is a tiny early Christian chapel located in a field at Cape Cornwall.
An ancient cross with a chi-rho monogram was discovered on the site in the mid-19th Century, but was sadly lost. The current cross on the chapel is one that was found nearby.
