T S Muir 1885.

Visited by OS (W D J) 22 April 1963.
No change to the previous field report.
Visited by OS (J B) 19 August 1982.
Nothing is now visible of this chapel, but it may have occupied the centre of the old graveyard at Thrumster, where the ground-level is noticeably higher than the surrounding area. There are no re-used architectural fragments visible in the graveyard wall, and the earliest gravestone appears to be one dated 1797.
