(ND 2365 7393) Chapel (NR) (site of)
OS 1:10,000 map, (1976)
This small piece of uncultivated land, 50 links square, is traditionally the site of a chapel where traces of a wall foundation and several large old weatherbeaten stones appear above ground surface (Ordnance Survey Name Book [ONB] 1872). These traces are the remains of some structure, said to be a chapel (RCAHMS 1911).
Name Book 1872; RCAHMS 1911.
The remains of this chapel are now completely grass- covered, and the site is only visible as a slight rise in the centre of the uncultivated area in the corner of an arable field. No further information could be obtained locally.
