approached the Archaeology Scotland Adopt-a-Monument (AaM) team for support with vegetation clearance, recording and interpretation of this 13th-century chapel site. They were interested in conserving and maintaining the chapel, in finding ways to promote the site and provide improved access and interpretation information for local residents and visitors.

The group worked with AaM and Historic Scotland, 1 September 2011 – 1 September 2013, to determine the condition of the chapel, identify ways of consolidating the building, and remove vegetation from the graveyard.

Research was undertaken on the potential early origins of the chapel and burial ground, and different forms of on and offsite interpretation. The project also recorded the gravestone memorial inscriptions.
