Kirkapol is a medieval chapel site located on the island of Tiree in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 300 metres north-west of the Lodge Hotel. The site comprises the remains of a chapel structure associated with cross-incised rocks, monuments that reflect the Christian heritage of the Hebridean islands during the medieval period. The cross-incised stones suggest a site of religious significance, likely serving as a focus for Christian devotion and possibly functioning as a burial or ritual location. The chapel represents the material expression of Christianity in the Outer Hebrides during the medieval era, when such structures formed important centres of spiritual and communal activity.
