These are the remains of what are said to have been a Chapel and the Enclosure surrounding it is supposed to have been a Grave Yard although no graves have been found for Chapels in those days were always surrounded by graveyards. The remains consist of several heaps of stones etc. arranged in a square form and marking quite distinctly the Foundation of the building; the surrounding old fence is also very distinct, and rises about two feet above the surface. Mr. Veitch says that it is popularly called the "Papish Kirk".

[Note:] As there are no indications or remains of graves found here and besides no account of such being attached to the chapel it is perhaps better omit the designation Grave Yard on plan.

[Quotation] In Flisk Wood at the opposite extremity of the Parish are low ruins most probably those of a place of worship and consisting of the apparent remains of the edifice and of an enclosing wall. In enumerating the Parish churches and chapels in the deanery of Fife in the eleventh year of King William Sir Robert Sibbald mentions, "Flisk Cum Capella", which of the two noticed above formed this Capella Cannot now be ascertained.
