St. Govan's Chapel

St. Govan's Chapel is a Grade I listed building constructed from large blocks of limestone masonry, roughly arranged in courses and built directly onto the rock. The western wall incorporates natural rock, while the southern wall is slightly battered at the base. The chapel features a modern pointed slate roof with slight verge parapets and a tile ridge, along with an empty bell-turret at the west. The northern entrance has an equilateral pointed arch, and the entrance in the western wall has a segmentally curved lintel. There are early or original small windows near the apex of the western and eastern gables, which may have marks of bars. Additionally, there is a small window just above altar level in the southern wall, and a larger window, which was already present in Campbell's 1757 engraving, has been formed in the southern wall. Informal retaining walls are located beside the entrances, along with a long flight of steps leading down from the clifftop and additional steps leading down to a well.

A third doorway, which leads to a rock-cleft, is situated to the left of the altar at the top of a flight of six steps. This doorway features a dressed lintel and jambs on the inside face of the wall, indicating that the rock-cleft area was considered part of the chapel rather than an external space, and it may have been roofed over.

Inside, the walls and vault are plastered. The altar is made of rubble masonry with a slightly projecting top formed from several pieces of stone. Although these top stones are very worn, they likely cover the masonry beneath a lost altar slab, and no marks of consecration are visible. There are low benches against the northern and southern sides, with the southern bench returning to abut the side of the altar. The floor is made of rough stone, which is likely recent, as it was described as clay in 1925. A line in the floor near the altar may indicate a former step. There is a piscina in the southern wall to the right of the altar, and a recess in the wall beside the northern entrance.
