A chantry chapel, apparently built by the Plunkett family (Tutty 1979, 155-157) in the sixteenth century lies southeast of the St. Margaret's medieval parish church (DU014-002002-). It is rectangular in plan (L 9m, WNW-ESE, Wth 4.9m, wall T 0.9m) and is entered through an elaborately decorated, pointed arched doorway which incorporates roll and hood moulding that terminates in a carved head. All the windows are blocked. There is a widely splayed window with chamfered, limestone jambs, and a square-headed window in the south wall. There is an aumbry on the same side. An L-shaped section of wall extends from the northeast angle of the chapel. An early 19th-century mausoleum is attached to the southeast corner. There are burials and big tree internally and there has been some rebuilding of the wall.
