St Columba's Chapel is one of the two parish churches of North Uist mentioned by Munro in 1549 (OPS 1854). It is shown on Blaeu's map of 1654 as 'Kilchalmkil' and was in use until c.1794. (OSA 1794)
Indistinct traces of the S wall still remain much embedded in sand at the west side of its unenclosed burial-ground, which occupies the whole of a large mound.
