The remains of this chapel are situated in arable ground 40mfrom the E shore of Loch Fyne and 250m WNW of Lephinchapel farmhouse. To the N of the chapel there is an uncultivated area measuring about 13m by 15m, but no enclosing wall or gravemarkers could be identified at the date of visit.
The chapel measures about 6.5m from ESE to WNW by 3.8m within turf-grown walls about 1m in thickness. Field-clearance material has been piled on the Sand W walls, but a short length of drystone masonry is visible in the outer face of the W wall. The entrance may be marked by a slight depression in the mound forming the N wall. The name Lephinchapel is first recorded in 1663 (en.1*), and the original dedication is unknown.
