The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La chapelle est située sur un placître surélevé par rapport à la route et aux anciens chemins, conservant ainsi sa signification première de lieu de rencontre. L'ensemble est formé de blocs de granit non appareillés et présente un plan hybride avec un transept au sud, un chevet débordant à mur plat, et un collatéral au nord séparé du vaisseau central par un pilier de section carrée.

History
The chapel is situated on a churchyard raised in relation to the road and the old paths, thus preserving its original significance as a meeting place. The ensemble is formed of blocks of unworked granite and presents a hybrid plan with a transept to the south, a projecting chevet with flat wall, and a side aisle to the north separated from the central vessel by a pillar of square section.
