The site of an early medieval chapel or keeill and burial ground, thought to have been in use between circa AD500 and AD1000.  The name of this keeill is lost and only the foundations remain now on a mound measuring 15 metres by 9 metres and standing 1.2 metres high. The dimensions of the keeill building appear to have been 4.5 metres by 2.75 metres, with only low wall bases surviving.  The wall in the southwest corner is up to 1.5 metres thick. The doorway was in the west wall and there appeared to have been another in the northwest. The floor had been paved with thin polygonal slabs averaging 0.45 metres x 0.35 metres.  0.8 metres from the East wall, two upright slabs 0.6 metres high, one crossing the other, appeared to have formed the front and south side of the altar. 


Excavation by Kermode in 1909-10 in the southwest corner exposed a small quantity of charcoal with fragments of thin pottery. More pottery remains were found to the east, and in the centre of the keeill 0.6 metres below the surface, as well as a pile of calcined bones. Excavations were also made near the east wall, where a layer of white quartz stones was noted and thought to perhaps have served as the base of the altar. Stones of a similar character supporting these to a depth of 0.9 metres.  A few inches below the quartz stones was another pile of calcined bones. 


Two worked flint flakes were found measuring 2.5 centimetres and 5.0 centimetres long. It is thought that the mound was an artificial mound used for Bronze Age burials before the site was selected for a Christian church. 


Graves have been noted when ploughing in the fields both north and south of the keeill indicating the extent of the associated burial ground.
