(NX 9775 7467) The chapel (dedicated to St Mary) of the Castle of Dumfries (at Castledykes) is referred to in early 13th century documents.
J Barbour 1907
It was in use until the Reformation, (A E Truckell and J Williams 1967) and is mentioned as standing in the early 18th century. The well-preserved patch of walling located N of the flagstaff during excavations in 1953, may represent an outbuilding of this chapel.
