Rait Castle, Chapel and Burial-ground NH c. 893 525 NH85SE 4
No traces are visible of the burial-ground said to have existed in this area in 1776, but which was ploughed up before 1893. Simpson suggests that a detached oblong building to the SE of the hall-house (NH85SE 10) is the chapel, which was in existence by c. 1198-9 and still in use in 1343.
