The medieval chapel of St Columba and the surrounding graveyard are situated to the E of the township of Mingulay immediately N of the burn that runs through the township, and are partly inundated by sand. A section of its foundations are visible at the NW corner of the sand-covered mound and are well-constructed in stone. It probably measures at least 10.4m from E to W by 4.8m transversely over walls up to 1.6m in thickness and 0.6m in height. The surrounding graveyard is roughly oval and is enclosed by a drystone wall, which is deeply covered by sand on the NE. The tips of eight gravestones were visible projecting from the sand to the S of the chapel and also a concrete slab with a crosshead. This site has been recorded by Buxton (1981) and latterly by Branigan and Foster (2000).
