(NR 3602 6679) Chapel (NR) (In Ruins) Burial Ground (NR)

OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed., (1900)

The remains of a chapel, consisting of a low crumbling grass-covered wall, lying in the centre of its circular burial-ground, which is about 15 yards in diameter, enclosed by a bank. Beyond its being ancient nothing is known of the chapel.

Name Book 1878.

This unusually small chapel measures 3.5m NE-SW by 3.2m within a turf-covered wall, 0.9m high and little more than 1.0m in actual width,. A central placed break along the SW wall shows an entrance position.

The enclosing burial ground is approximately 12.5m square with angles rounded; its wall is similar to that of the chapel but more upstanding.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.

Visited by OS June 1978.
