NH83NE 1 8608 3886
A pre-Reformation chapel-of-ease with a small glebe existed at Daless (NH 86 38). It was disused after the Reformation but its site can still be identified.
G Bain 1928.
At NH 8608 3886 on the flat haugh-land of the River Findhorn is a sub-rectangular enclosure, oriented ESE to WNW and measuring c. 78.0m by c. 26.0m within a denuded bank of earth and stones. It is locally thought to have been a burial ground but there is not trace of tombstones or a chapel.
Visited by OS (R L), 3 December 1970.
