The National Monuments Service's description

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a broad NW-SE ridge. A private chapel, reputedly built c. 1750 (OS Name Books), is associated with Castlemore House c. 15m to the NW, which has now been removed. A Plunkett family occupied Castlemore House in the early 19th century (Lewis 1837, 1, 305). A chancel or apse (int. dims 1.65m E-W; 1.45m N-S) of masonry walls (T 0.6m; H c. 4m) with rectangular windows (dims c. 0.8m x c. 0.5m) in each wall and a high chancel arch leads to the E end of a nave or chancel (int. dim. 3.3m N-S), the W end of which does not survive.
