Nevie, Chapel Of Christ And Burial Ground

A late eighteenth-century source describes the remains of a chapel, probably medieval in date, which formerly stood near the eastern bank of the River Livet, about 200m west of Bridge of Nevie.

At the time the account was written, only slight remains were visible of the site, known as 'Chapel Christ', and it was noted that the river had washed away the associated burial ground. By 1869, no trace of any building could be found at the site.
