The remains of a pre-Reformation chapel

This building has completely tumbled. Wall footings, seen through the debris, give dimensions approximately 9.0m E-W by 3.6m N-S. There is nothing to differentiate these remains from those of abandoned crofts in the vicinity. The tradition of a chapel is still known locally, but not the dedication.
Published Survey (6") correct.
