NH65NE 3 6725 5684.
There is an ancient burying ground, said to be also the site of a chapel, near the Killen Burn a little below Bog of Afterflow farm. Between the farm and the burying ground is a petrifying stream.
'Chapel Hill', at NH 6725 5684 is, presumably, associated with this site.
A J Beaton 1885.
At NH 6725 5684 on a wooded knoll on Chapel Hill, are the turf-covered footings of a building, 8.8m E-W by 5.0m N-S, probably the remains of a chapel, although one cannot be certain of this without excavation. Around the lower sides of the knoll are vague traces of a turf-covered wall, possibly of a graveyard. No gravestones are visible.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (N K B) 21 March 1966.
Note (1979)
Burnfarm, Chapel NH 672 568 NH65NE 3
Only the footings now remain of what may have been a chapel; in 1885 Beaton noted an 'ancient burying-ground'.
