A Catholic chapel is supposed to have stood on Chapel Hill, a small cultivated knoll in a field a short distance east of Easter Clune farmhouse. The site cannot be identified.
A carved stone, dug up during trenching operations, was taken to the Nairn Museum by Dr Griggor (Name Book 1869).
The site of the chapel is still marked in the Chapelfield.
