(Area: NF 847 757) A chapel is said to have existed on the Oronsay which lies N. of Ahmore Strand. Foundations have been discovered when ploughing a slight knoll in the westmost enclosure of this island, to which the name 'Pairc an Teampuill' still applies.
E Beveridge 1911.
The knoll was located at NF 8464 7571. No visible remains of a chapel, although the tradition that one existed here is known locally.
