Archaeology Notes

HY40NE 16 48 08.

The 'chapel of Essinquye'(Records of the Earldom of Orkney SHS 1914) is mentioned in a charter dated 15th April, 1550 concerning the transfer of land called Gramesetter in St. Ola's and Essinquye in St. Andrew's parish. The chapel is likely therefore to be situated within 1 KM radius of HY 4908.
