OS 6" map (1967)
The ruins of this chapel dedicated to St Lasrach (H Scott 1920) were used as a burial place by the Lanchope family at the beginning of the 18th century. Though no trace remained in 1858, the site was still well known, ruins still standing in the early 19th century.
Seven wooden coffins, containing decayed skeletons, were found nearby about 1840 when making a cutting for a road to the iron works.

The site of this chapel is covered by slag heaps, and no trace of it exists. The siting symbol was obtained from a map by Coatbridge Town Planning Office, in Coatbridge Public Library (scale 2 1/2": 1 ml).
Visited by OS (JLD) 23 October 1952
The chapel is depicted at NS 7850 6322 on the 6-inch 2nd edition OS map (Lanarkshire 1864, sheet viii.SE). It is also marked on the 1st edition OS map (Lanarkshire 1864, sheet viii) at the same general location. By the 1913 edition 6-inch OS map (Lanarkshire 1913, sheet viii.SE) the site had been lost beneath extensive spoil heaps though the description survived, being annotated to the W. Erroneously the location of the site became identifed with this text.
