This site is now very ruined and little is to be seen except for the vague footings of the chapel which measure internally about 6.0m E-W by 3.8m. The entrance is not apparent.

The burial ground occupies the flat top of a low rocky ridge and is enclosed by the slight remains of a rubble wall. Within it are traces of a rectangular building oriented NW-SE, an uninscribed headstone and the knocking stone.

No carved stones are to be seen in the nearby houses but a small inscribed cross, on an ashlar block, measuring about 0.2m high, was found in the wall of a small building at NR 4058 9542 by Mr Alexander in January 1974; it remains in his possession (see NR49NW 8.02).

Surveyed at 1:10,000.

Visited by OS (JP) 19 April 1974; Information from D Alexander, Glen Cottage, Scalasaig.
