Chapel (NR) (Site of) OS 6"map, (1938)
A piece of enclosed ground used as a burial ground for the church district of Urray. A chapel stood in the graveyard, nothing now remaining, and date of erection is not known.
Name Book 1876; OPS 1855.
There is no trace of this chapel. Just W of OS siting symbol is a small 19th C burial enclosure which the parish minister (Mr Grant, Muir of Ord) believes incorporates part of its walls. This view however cannot be supported by ground inspection, though it is possible that some of the stone from the chapel could have been used in its construction. One of the stones forming part of the W door jamb bears the inscription AMD 18 1531. The graveyard is still in occasional use. The oldest legible gravestones are 19th C.
Visited by OS (J B) 23 June 1975.
