(NR 4145 6860) Cill Challuim Chille (Nr) Chapel (NR) (In Ruins)
OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed., (1900)
The name 'Cill Challuim Chille' applies to a burial ground, still in use in 1878 (ONB 1878). At its centre are the remains of a chapel, dedicated to St. Columba. Lamont (1972) illustrates a medieval grave-slab with foliaceous ornament, from the burial ground, but states that it is impossible to date it closely, although Graham (1895) suggests it is early 14th century. Watson gives the name as 'Cill Chaluim Chille'.
Name Book 1878; W D Lamont 1972; W J Watson 1926; R C Graham 1895.
Presentations were still being made to the chaplainry in 1542.
Orig Paroch Scot 1854.
