NM 41199 19622 Pre-conservation photographic and measured surveys were carried out of Kilvickeon Church, on 19 March 2013, to provide a baseline record of the monument’s present condition. This chapel is one of the seven medieval parish churches on Mull, and was probably dedicated to Ernan, son of Eoghan, a nephew of St Columba. It was in use until 1804, when a new church was built at Bunessan. The N and S walls are still standing to near roof height and the entrance to the church is intact. Above the doorway, the chapel still bears an intriguing, though worn, symbolic stone carving interpreted as a ‘sheela-na-gig’.
