Remains of chapel and associated enclosure lying some 90m ENE of the Baptist Chapel to the N of the main road. The chapel is represented
by a subrectangular structure, about 7m E-W by 4m N-S within walls of drystone rubble construction, some 0.7m high and 1m thick. A large recumbant slab is laid in the position of an altar at the E end. The chapel is located in a roughly D-shaped enclosure, open on the N, and
in the E forming a scarped platform about 0.7m high. The N and W
areas have been ploughed, and there are other structural remains and
an area of rig and forrow to the W. The scheduled area includes the remains of the chapel and enclosure, contained in an area measuring
110m on the NNE, 60m on the ENE, 100m on the SSE following (but excluding) the line of the fence bordening the road, and 60m on the
