The remains of what may be a chapel are situated on a broad NW-facing terrace about 480m SE of Congash farmsteading (NJ02NE 68). Rectangular on plan, it measures 14.7m from NE to SW by 8m transversely over walls reduced to low grass-grown footings. This building lies within a rectangular enclosure with rounded corners, which measures about 35m from NNE to SSW by 31m transversely over a wall reduced to a stony bank up to 3m in thickness and 0.7m in height. The entrance to the enclosure, which measures 1.2m in width, is in the SSW end; the Pictish symbol stones which flank the entrance are as previously described.
Aerial photography (RCAHMS 1995, C53505-7) has revealed that the enclosure in which the possible chapel lies is itself situated within an enclosure now only visible as a cropmark. Subrectangular on plan with rounded corners, this enclosure measures about 96m from NE to SW by 67m transversely over a ditch up to 2.5m in breadth. There are two possible entrances, one on the NE side and the other on the SW towards the W corner.
