"The foundations of the old Castle one of the proprietors of which (viz. Claverhouse) distinguished
himself in persecuting the Presbyterians under Charles II. were lately dug up by a farmer. There appeared
to have been a Popish Chapel belonging to the house as the fount altar, &c, were discovered."
