What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Colonsay, Cnoc Nan Gall, Cille Chiaran as Chapel (early Medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Cille Chiaran is associated with St Ciarán, a 6th-century Irish monk and saint, who is believed to have founded a monastery on the island of Colonsay. The site is linked to early Christian pilgrimage and may have been a place of prayer and healing, typical of many holy wells and early chapels in the Scottish Isles.
