Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Islay, Kilnave, Kilnave Chapel and Cross as Chapel (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to Saint Blane, an early Christian saint venerated in Argyll and the Isles, the site is associated with healing traditions and pilgrimage. Local folklore suggests the chapel and cross were centres of religious observance and may have been sites for the veneration of relics or holy water.
