A small, sandy mound overgrown with bent, covers the remains of a chapel, parts of the walls of which were visible a few yards before 1872. Nothing is known of it beyond that it was a chapel of primitive build and that it was covered by sand drift. There are traces of ruins of unknown origin nearby.
