Site of Chapel - " The font is still to be seen in one
of the buildings of the farmsteading. There
is a tradition that the farmer, who removed
the stones, lost the whole of his Horses & one race of Horses after another,
till he was completely ruined & obliged to give up the lease of
his farm."- [New Statistical Account.]
