Archaeology Notes

NR88SW 4 841 814.

The old castle stood close to the farm access road and immediately N of the chapel site (NR88SW 1). The site is possibly marked by a low stony mound in the field at NR 841 814.

M Campbell and M Sandeman 1964.

There is no evidence of a castle in the area cited. The mound referred to is one of several natural mounds which have had stone clearance added to them.

Visited by OS (I A) 14 June 1973.
