NS88NE 1 8653 8839.
(NS 8653 8839) Chapel (NR) (site of)
OS 6" map (1967)
The site of this chapel, of which no structural remains survive, is marked by an assemblage of loose stones and an inscribed iron panel. The fragments include a few door and window lintels, and one tapering slab, 2'2" x 1'2" at the wider end, which has been hollowed out, forming a basin 9 1/2" in diameter and 4" deep. This is most probably a holy water stoup, and if so it would help to attest the former existence of a pre-Reformation church on the site. Carnock, where this chapel is situated, has been identified (W F Skene 1887; N K Chadwick 1958) with the "Kernach" mentioned in Jocelyn's Vita S Kentigerni.
RCAHMS 1963, visited 1954
The plaque reads "Site of Chapel built where Kentigern rested with the body of Fergus on the way to Cathures (Glasgow) in the 6th century". The piscina and other carved stones exist at the site, but no remains of the chapel survive.
Visited by OS (JLD) 17 October 1953
