All that remains of the chapel on top of a grass-covered sand dune are vague traces of dry-stone walls and a scatter of stone slabs on the slopes of the dune. Near the summit of the mound and just on the SW slopes are 2 upright, incised cross-slabs, measuring (A) 0.3m x 0.3m x 1.3m high, and (B) 0.1m x 0.1m x 0.5m high. A further cross-slab (C) measuring 0.2m x 0.5m x 0.8m lies broken at the base of the dune close to the symbol stone, which is as described by RCAHMS. A shell midden is exposed in the lower E slopes of the dune. No human remains were seen at the time of investigation.

Surveyed at 1:10,560.

Visited by OS (N K B) 21 May 1965.
