OS 6" map, Ross-shire, 2nd ed., (1907)

St. Mary's Chapel is situated within a clump of trees at Cadbollmount about 50 yards W of Cadbollmount farm. The site has been utilised as a dump for farm debris and no trace of the chapel site can now be seen (Davidson 1948). Chapel of St. Mary at 'Cathabul' is mentioned in 1529 (Information from the Balnagown Charters). This is probably the small chapel the outlines of which are still to be seen amid a clump of trees in a field named Baleachan (Hector's Town) of the Farm of Cadboll Mound formerly named Hill of Geanies (note by W M Murray).

Orig Paroch Scot 1855; J M Davidson 1948.

No trace of the chapel; the site is still being used as a dump.

Visited by OS (I S S) 5 September 1972.
