Description
Darleith Church is an early 16th century chapel that was repaired in 1685. It is a single-storey, roofless structure with a rectangular plan, built of rubble and harl. The chapel features a moulded eaves cornice, a simple door, and a small round-headed window at the center of the side elevations, while the rear elevation is blank. The interior does not have any notable architectural details. The building is roofless and has scrolled skewputts. Surrounding the church is a low rubble boundary wall.
