Church of Cille Choirill (RC), medieval and 20th century. Chapel/monk's cell, rebuilt from a state of ruin, 1933. Only one opening - the round-arched window with moulded jambs on the southeast - is genuinely medieval, possibly 13th century, re-used. Others, and the bellcoted, swept roof date from the work of 1933, funded by subscriptions from Canadian descendants of Lochaber emigrants; shoring up and renovation in 1991 by the Scottish Churches Archaeological Trust. Breasting Tom Aingeal, with a bird's eye view over Glen Spean and the Monessie Gorge, this solitary chapel is dedicated to the Irish missionary, St. Cyril.
