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.
