What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ensay as Chapel (medieval), Font (medieval)(possible). 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.
Ensay is associated with Saint Eanswythe, a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon saint linked to early Christian foundations in southern England, though her cult may have spread to Scotland. Traditionally, holy wells and sites named after her were believed to offer cures for skin ailments and to provide protection.
