Blakeney Chapel, Medieval ruins in Cley Next the Sea, England.
The rectangular structure contains two rooms of different sizes, with remaining foundations and a partial wall standing on elevated marshland near the coast.
The building first appeared on a 1586 map used for legal cases regarding wreck and salvage rights along the Norfolk coastline.
Archaeological excavations between 1998 and 2005 revealed pottery from international trade routes dating from the 14th to 16th centuries.
The site exists as both a Grade II listed building and scheduled monument, located 200 meters from the sea near the River Glaven channel.
Despite its name suggesting religious purposes, archaeological evidence indicates the structure contained a hearth for iron smelting rather than serving as a chapel.
