190 A well known name applied to the site of a Chapel & Burying ground situated in a park a short distance west of the County road between Cnoc na Faire & Larach na Gobhar. Dugald Wlker who is upwards of eighty years was born in Chill Maluaig & who remembers of seeing the stones that were taken from the Chapel - he also recollects of hearing the old people of that place relating that when they were young they took the horses to the side of the Chapel wall so as to get easier on there [their] backs. The burying ground was very large in his young days & contained a number of tombstones, which were used latterly as heart stones, not a single stone is to be seen of either. The Revd. [Reverend] Mr. McKenzie Achahoish imagines the Chapel to have belonged to St. Maluaig who was the first to have preached Christianity in that part of the Country. Sig: [Signification] Malloy's or Maluag's burying ground.
"There appears to have been a Church or Chapel at Kilmolowaig a little further to the north on the same coast".
