Remains of a chapel, built in 1693, and situated within the designed landscape (NO36NW0062) around Balnaboth House. It was originally an Episcopal chapel, and it became a burial aisle for the Ogilvy family after falling into disuse. There is conflicting dates for when it becomes disused. It is suggested it became disused after the 1745 rebellion, however Warden claims at the end of the 19th century that it was still in use in 1833, and became roofless by 1863. It is a rubble-built rectangular chapel, with a square tower at the South-West corner. There is an off-centre doorway in the South elevation, with a wooden door with ornamental hinges, which has presumably been added later. There is a rectangular opening above the doorway. The square tower, which may have been a stairwell for a gallery at the West end of the chapel, has a small slit window on the West face, and the top is incomplete. The North elevation and East gable are both featureless. There are two in the stones in the chapel dated 1693 and 1695, and the 1693 stone also includes the inscription 'M D G'. The chapel is enclosed by a boundary of Yew trees.
