The National Monuments Service's description
This chapel is indicated as 'Site of Old Chapel' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as 'Chapel (Site of)' the 1920 edition. The outline of a rectangular building (c. 10m E−W; c. 6m N−S) was still discernible in the first half of the 20th-century, defined by low sod-covered foundations, with a gap in the E wall (SMR file). An inspection in 1987 found no visible trace of the chapel.
