024.02 | "It has been supposed that the site of the proper church or chapel of Conveth was at one time in a different part of the parish, nearly two miles farther east. Not many years ago there were dug out in a field what Seemed to be the foundation walls of such a building. A circular tumulus of rock immediately adjoining is to this day called the 'Chapel Knap', and the 'Mill of Conveth' the only place which retains the ancient name of Conveth is Scarcely half a mile distant." (New Stat Act [Statistical Account] P. [Page] 129) The Chapel Knap is well known, and Mr Brodie who pointed out the site took down the object here called "a circular tumulus of rock"; he states that it appeared to have been used as a "kiln, or a Cooking place" on account of the ashes &c being found about the artificial erection of the Stones. Nothing of a Sepulchral nature was found. Mr Brodie supposes that a Chapel had stood near the place as marked. The Knap is a Small Spur or Point between two small streams near the Farm House of Scotston. There is no track or trace to mark the site of the Chapel, the ground being all Cultivated. There is nothing on the ground to indicate the Site of a Building. - |
