(NS 0366 6263) Kilchousland Chapel (NR) (Rems of)
OS 6" map (1957)
(The authority for the OS name is unknown, the relevant ONB having been destroyed during the 1939-45 war). It is called Cruiskland Chapel by Blain and Hewison following him. Oriented slightly N of E, it measures some 36' x 21' 6" over 3' - 3'6" thick walls which stand 3' - 4' high, bonded by clay. The door was in the middle of the S wall. Hewison notes that the huge stones of a wall which formerly enclosed the graveyard are still visible. (The dedication is not given by Origines, but Watson, referring to Kilchousland in Kintyre, gives a dedication to St Constantin).
