Nothing religious on the old maps in this area. There is, however a " chapel " site marked near Achmelvich, on the shore of a small loch called Loch Fasg an t-seana Chlaidh. This was locally translated for me as " the loch in the shelter of the old graveyard ". There is a strange circle of reeds just offshore in this loch. No other info available. Badnaban-Clump of white trees? Over to you. Fraser MacKenzie in sunny but clouding over Assynt.
