Full Description

Chapel (NR) (Site of) OS 6" map, Caithness, 2nd ed., (1907)

Locally known as the 'Auld Kirk', this chapel is said to have been pre-Reformation, but nothing more is known of it. Mr Durran (W Durran, Hall of Durran) removed the remains many years before 1872, and while removing the nearby broch (ND16SE 13), he came upon what appeared to be gravestones, possibly secondary burials associated with chapel. Name Book 1872.

No further information. Visited by OS (R D) 11 November 1965.
