On the banks above [the well, OR 129] stood a chapel, the

grass-grown foundations of which can still be traced. [R1]

Practically all traces of structure disappeared but some

small ridges and hillocks seem to give partial indication of line

of foundations. Pot sherd found in sandy bank high up in S

corner, other signs of early occupation, traces of burning. A

slab on edge could be seen projecting from the bank hard by.

[R2]

A turfed ridge 6m long 0.2m high, WNW-ESE, may be a

wall-footing of chapel, otherwise no trace in an area of

disturbed ground. The slab. . . projecting from the bank hard

by not seen, nor any other sign of early occupation, the banks

being turf covered. OS visit Jul 70.
