Teampull, Ornsay, Isle of Ornsay. At the S end of Ornsay, on a plateau some 100 yds from and 40 ft. above high water mark, and sheltered by quickly rising ground to the N, is an old burying ground in which are the scanty remains of an ancient church. Oblong on plan, it is orientated nearly ESE and measures 26 1/2 ft. in length and about 13 1/2 ft in breadth internally. The wall, built of stone and shell lime, is reduced to a height of only 1 ft 6 ins. and measures about 2 ft 3 ins. thick. The door was probably placed near the W end of the S wall.
RCAHMS 1928.
The church is as described by RCAHMS. The graveyard is now disused and neglected.
Visited by OS (A S P) 21 June 1961.
