Full Description

North of the farmhouse at Killiechoilum ( Cill a' Chuingleum, "Church of the Gorge-leap" (W J Watson 1926)) is a knoll at NH 4800 1330, flanked by rig-and-furrow cultivation. Local tradition associates it with the site of a chapel. Ground inspection shows no trace of any structure having been here. Further to the north, however, at NH 4822 1354, is a lone footing conceivably the remains of a chapel. It measures 4.6 by 2.8m approximately within a turf-covered wall 0.3m high at best and spread to a maximum 1.2m broad.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
