Gungstie is a medieval chapel and associated burial ground situated on the Isle of Noss in Shetland, Scotland. The site lies approximately 25 metres south of Nestivoe and represents an important example of ecclesiastical provision in the island's medieval period. The chapel would have served the local population of Noss, which was inhabited during the Middle Ages, though the precise dates of construction and use remain uncertain. The site is now marked principally by its burial ground, with physical remains of the chapel structure itself substantially degraded or buried, reflecting the exposed and challenging environmental conditions characteristic of Shetland's northern islands.
