Burial Ground (L.B.)
OS 6" map, Shetland, 2nd ed., (1903)
The site of a chapel generally known to have stood about the 14th Century is marked by a green spot of rough pasture in the burial ground. It had been completely removed by 1878.
The burial ground is thought to be contemporary with the chapel, and to have remained in use until about 1740.
Name Book 1878
There is now no trace of this chapel. The perimeter of the burial ground is now only visible on the south and west as a stony scarp, elsewhere the enclosing bank has been removed. No further information.
Published survey (25") correct.
Visited by OS (WDJ) 18 June 1968.
