A chapel stood at the extremity of what is now the E boundary of the East Parish, which must have been the principal cemetery, for many grave stones were found sunk a spade deep when the land was used for a kitchen garden by the late Mr King. The land is part of Chapelton farm, on Greenock estate. The chapel is believed to have been destroyed at the time of the Reformation.

Chapelton farm has long been broken up, although the old farmhouse can still be located at NS 3122 7457; it is a private residence. Mr Pollock, the present tenant, has no knowledge of this chapel. Further local enquiries failed to supply any additional information.
