The site is now occupied by a modern memorial-chapel.

The modern Hoselaw Chapel lies about 100m. SW of the OS site. Air Photograph investigation shows slight marks at the OS site that could well be the site of a chapel.
Visible on RAF air photographs 106G/UK 765: 4030-1, flown 1945.
Hoselaw Chapel was dedicated to St Machuit (Fasti Eccles Scot, H Scott et al ed. 1917). The modern chapel bears a brass plaque stating that it stands near the site of the old chapel (J F Leishman 1910).
At one time the outline of the chapel was visible on Chapelknowe, about 100 yards E of a large sycamore still visible in 1910.
Hist Berwickshire Natur Club 1913 (Reports).
The ancient chapel of Hoselaw, an appanage of the Abbey of Kelso since 1421, stood c 100 yds NW of the present chapel, dedicated in 1906. The RCAHMS 1956 is incorrect.
