Notes
The NGR is given with a vague location, centred on the parish kirk, as the evidence for this chapel simply places it 'in the parish of the church of Saint Congan' (in parrochia ecclesie Sancti Congani)(Duirinish) - not, as the editor says 'in the parish church of St Congan' (Highland Papers iv, 140).
