Kilbride Chapel (name confirmed) (information from Miss Burns, Kilbride) measures 20.0m east-west by 8.0m and is now roofless, the walls

standing to a height of 3.0m. It is incorporated in the present day burial ground and has a number of gravestones within it. The fence has gone but the dividing wall is still complete. Several re-used dressed stones can be seen in the walling together with some blocked windows.

A few original windows, however, are still intact.

The monogrammed stone is clearly visible in the outside of the east wall but there is no trace of any of the cruciform headstones.

Visited by OS (B S) 27 October 1977.
