St Cuthbert's Isle is a small tidal island off the coast of Northumberland that contains the remains of a medieval chapel and associated structures. The chapel dates to the medieval period and represents a continuation of religious activity on the island, which held significance in early Christian tradition as a site associated with Saint Cuthbert. The surviving masonry indicates a modest ecclesiastical building typical of its era, though the exposed coastal location and tidal nature of the island have resulted in considerable damage to the structures. The site reflects the enduring religious importance of locations linked to early Christian saints in the medieval period.
