Archaeology Notes

NR73NE 7 7946 3617

Although Thomson suggests that this is the site of a chapel, no visible traces of such a building now survive, and the earliest tombstone bearing a legible inscription is of early 19th-century date. The records of the Ordnance Survey indicate that no tradition of antiquity attached to this site in the third quarter of the 19th century.

Visited by RCAHMS, May 1962.

T H Thomson c. 1935; Name Book nd; RCAHMS 1971.
