248.16 | "At Clachan in Shisken where it is believed the church of St. Molios stood, and which Blaen marks as Kilmichel, may be seen in the centre of the cemetery what is alleged to be the grave of that Saint, marked by a stone having the Sculptured figure of an Ecclesiastic with chalice and crosier, and arrayed in the robes of a Mitred abbot. The exact spot where the original church stood is not remembered at the present day but most probably in the centre of the burying ground where the saint is believed to be buried. The present church was built in 1805. And is but occasionally used for Divine service, and is used as a chapel of ease to the Parish Church of Kilmory. It is indifferently called Clachan & Shisken church. "At Clachan in Shiskin where it is believed the church of Saint Molios stood & which Blaen marKs as Kilmichel, may be seen in the centre of the cemetery what is alleged to be the grave of that Saint which is marKed by a stone having the figure of an ecclesiastic with a chalice and Crosier.
