021 Is applied to the remains of an ancient chapel, the west gabel and the two side walls of which are still standing. There is a doorway in the gabel and several loopholes in the walls. It is 43 ft. [feet] long & 20 ft. [feet] wide.
The name signifies "Big temple"
TEAMPULL BEAG Teampull Beag
Teampull Beag
Church (Ruin)
Mr. Angus Morrison Ferryman, Obb, Harris
A.A. Carmichael Esqr.
Admiralty Chart
021 This is applied to what is also said to have been a chapel or place of worship, and although what remains of it are within a few feet of the above (west) it appears to have been quite a separate building. In this case there is only a few feet of what appears to have been the east gabel standing. Both places are surrounded by a burying ground, on which many rude stones are standing.
These are probably the chapels said to be dedicated, the one to the Virgin Mary and the other to St. Muluag, but I could not ascertain whether they are or not.
In this case the name signifies "Little temple", & this is the westmost one of the two, both being situate on the island of Pabbay.
