Heysham rock-cut tombs

St Patrick's Chapel is a ruined Anglo-Saxon church built originally in the 8th century and expanded at an unknown later date.

[2] It stands on a millstone grit headland in the village of Heysham on the north Lancashire coast in north-west England.

[2] The entire site has been designated a scheduled monument, and the chapel and each of the groups of graves are Grade I listed buildings.

[2] Worried by deterioration of the fabric of St Patrick's Chapel from weather erosion and vandalism, a team from the University of Lancaster under the direction of R. D. Andrews and T. W. Potter undertook a rescue archaeological investigation of the site, including the rock-cut tombs, in April 1977 and March–April 1978.

[10] In 2017 fears were raised in the local press that continuing erosion of the headland on which St Patrick's Chapel stands were endangering the tombs.
