A terrace has been levelled from the hillside at this point, but there are now no traces of any building. Some unworked stone lying in the area is probably part of natural subsoil exposed by construction of the terrace. Rector has no knowledge of the chapel.

Possibly the site of a private chapel associated with the rectory to the north. Probably dates from 14th to early 15th century and abandoned in the 1530 reformation.
