Chapel, Rudh' an Teampuill, Toe Head.
The ruin of this building stands on a little promontory ¾ mile south-west of Northtown and rather more than 2 miles south-south-east of Toe Head. It is a single chambered oblong structure, measuring 21 feet by 10 feet, with walls about 2 ¾ feet thick. The masonry is random rubble brought to courses built of granite and schist. Both gables are intaken. The walls stand to a height of over 6 ½ feet. The entrance is from the north. There is a single narrow window in each side wall and one in either gable, the western being at a high level, where there seems to have been a gallery, the corbels of which remain. Both ends of the building are raised one step. On the east step is part of the altar seating, and beside it a corbel or image bracket. Beside the altar are two small aumbries. (Fig. 94.)
