St Curig's Chapel is a ruined medieval chapel located at Cats Ash in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference MM175. The surviving remains consist of fragmentary stone foundations and walls that indicate a small chapel building of medieval date, typical of rural religious structures serving local communities during the medieval period. The site retains archaeological and historical significance as evidence of early Christian settlement and religious organisation in the Welsh landscape, though the precise dating of its construction remains uncertain within the broad medieval timeframe.
