(NT 6781 3686) Chapel (NR) (Site of).
OS 6"map, Roxburghshire, 2nd ed.,(1909).
The church of Naithansthirn, now Nentorn, existed in the latter part of the 12th century, and in 1316 came into the possession of the monks of Kelso, who retained it until the Reformation. The foundations of the church are traceable in the centre of the churchyard.
J Robson 1896; J Ferguson 1892; G Chalmers 1810.
Portions of the south and east walls, both about 4.0m long and 0.3m high, are all that now remains of the church. The churchyard is now disused, and completely overgrown.
Visited by OS(JD) 26 May 1955.
The outline of the church cannot be determined with certainty, while the remains described by OS surveyor (JD) have more the appearance of a latter burial enclosure or vault.
Visited by OS(RDL) 15 November 1963.
