It is locally supposed that there was a chapel here at at some period, a great number of cists having been found at this spot, in a field called Chapel Park (Statistical Account [OSA]).
Name Book 1856
A charter, undated but judged to have been drawn up between 1233 and 1249, grants all the land of Ingraston, Ingoliston as it then was, for the founding of a chapel. What became of the chapel is not known, as there is no further trace or record of it. Possibly there was a hospital assocaited with the chapel, this would explain the name Spittalhaugh (NT 1635 4962).
R Renwick 1897
Nothing now survives at this site (noted as "Cists - site of).
RCAHMS 1967, visited 1962
