All that can be seen are a few large round stones partly under ground marking the graves....."The site shown..is the supposed site and is a small green mound".
Name Book 1871.
"On the west side of a small hill called Tork (? Creagan an Tuirc), in the parish of Dunlichity, is Chapel Field, where, it is said, the parish church or chapel stood before it was transformed to Dunlichity"

The top of the mound is pitted with hollows of amorphous character, and no building outline can be discerned among them or at the position of the published siting symbol (NH 6663 2881). No gravestones can now be found.

Field Visit (8 October 1992)
At this location there is a mound, possibly natural, aligned from ENE to WSW, along which there are sub-rectangular depressions and a few boulders. There was no trace of a building or any burials. The E end was under crop at the date of visit and the mound has been heavily disturbed by rabbit-burrowing.

Field Visit (1 June 2009 - 30 November 2009)
NH 47056 13151 to NH 72140 40266 Recommendations for mitigation and recording arising a desk-based assessment and walk-over survey carried out in 2009 ahead of refurbishment of an overhead power line running from Daviot to Whitebridge in Inverness-shire. From this were then implemented during the refurbishment work. However in most cases it proved possible to refurbish existing poles rather than replace them; and where replacement took place the new poles were located on exactly the same sites as their predecessors. Although the work was monitored, no archaeology was affected.
