(NN 6994 0451) Chapel (NR) (Site of)
OS 6" map, (1958)
A chapel on the west brink of the glen of Annat, on a round hill, which still retained the name of Kirk-hill. Although graves were visible, c.1798, all traces of them and the chapel had disappeared by 1863.
OSA 1798; Name Book 1863.
No trace of a chapel or burial ground exists on Kirkton Knowe, a prominent knoll with sloping summit. Some stone is scattered here and there on the slopes testifying, no doubt, to the former existence of a structure on the summit.
Visited by OS (E G C) 11 October 1968.
