This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of Colonsay and Oronsay and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:

“On Machrins farm, to the east of the farm buildings, is an area known as Cille Brìghde ‘Bridget’s chapel’ where locals can recall ploughing up grave stones when tilling the ground.”
