A Catholic chapel at Shenval was possibly erected soon after the Reformation. The chapel and priest's house were burned after Culloden by the Duke of Cumberland, but were rebuilt in 1780. They fell into ruin after 1831, and in 1914 there remained grass covered foundations, and a solitary tree marking the priest's garden.
