The chapel of Cill Challuim-chille has been cleared and preserved. It measures 6.9m E-W by 3.5m within a coursed drystone wall 1.2m in average width. The wall stands to 0.8m high, capped by turf and heather. The entrance, on the south side, is 2.0m from the SW corner. Further early remains may lie under a low mound to the SE of the chapel. The earliest dated graveslab in the burial ground is early 19th century.
According to the Jura minister (P Youngson), dedications to St Columba and St Mary (Kilmhoire) have been applied to the chapel. Which is earlier cannot be stated with certainty; the Columban dedication is currently the more commonly used.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
