Remains of a burial cairn, which consists of a near circular, uneven stony area edged with several kerb stones in the north, west and southwest areas. In the north five of these stones are contiguous but in the W they are intermittently placed, though a bedding trench can be seen between them where the stones have been removed. The southeast edge is not clear. There is a possibility that the 'remnants' are the remains of an internal cairn of a stone circle, however unless further evidence can be procured the site can be classified only as a robbed cairn. The cairn dates to the third millennium BC. The name is said to derive from an attempt to build a chapel here. Each night the walls sank out of sight and had to be built again each morning and the work was finally abandoned.
