The roofless ruin of this chapel stands within a curvilinear, walled burial-ground at the head of the cliffs 100m SSE of Cowie golf course clubhouse and 180m NNE of Cowie Castle (NO88NE 21). Rectangular on plan, it measures 20.45m by 5.45m within wall 0.9m in thickness; there are three lancets in the E gable and an aumbry in the N wall. The eastern portion of the chapel appears to be of 13th-century date. The building was originally 13.75m long but during the 16th century it was renovated and enlarged; in the 19th century a barrel-vaulted chamber was added to the W gable. The chapel comes on record in 1276.
