Nereabolls is a medieval chapel and burial ground located 270 metres south-west of Tigh-na-Cross on the island of Islay in Argyllshire. The site comprises the remains of a small chapel with an associated burial ground, typical of the scattered ecclesiastical settlements that characterised the Hebridean landscape during the medieval period. The chapel represents the religious infrastructure of medieval Islay, when such small chapels served local communities and monastic interests across the Inner Hebrides. The burial ground's continued use over several centuries demonstrates the enduring spiritual and social significance of the site within the settlement pattern of the island.
