Full Description
Site of chapel said to have been founded in the 14th century by David II. No remains now exist but the ruins stood at the end of the 18th century church. It does not appear in the Register of Ministers for 1567. The chapel well was a spring (NO 8390 7256), now only a slight seepage in a bank with virtually no flow. An earthen jar containing coins is reported to have been found while ploughing over the chapel site in 1893. The 437 coins forwarded to the Exchequer were coins of Edward I, II and III from a variety of mints. The jar was claimed to have contained over 1000 coins. A similar hoard was uncovered by ploughing on the same farm in 1902, a jar with brownish glaze and a loop handle. The majority of the 494 pieces were also sterlings of Edward I, II and III from various mints, but the hoard included a few Scottish coins dating from the reigns of Alexander III and John Baliol.
