NF 97000 91341 A small roofless late medieval chapel stands on the exposed headland of Rubh’ an Teampaill overlooking the Sound of Harris, about 2.5km to the NW of the township of Taobh Tuath (Northton). A survey was undertaken in March 2009 prior to the consolidation of the structure. Elevations of each of the interior and exterior faces were produced using rectified photography, together with a ground plan. The structure proved to be largely of a single period, but contained re-used masonry from earlier builds.
