011.07 This, upon the authorities here quoted, is the site of an Ancient Chapel, which is generally known to have been in the neighbourhood,but exact site is not so well known. At the time the "Clydesdale Junction Railway" was made numerous stones & parts of the foundations were found at the place shown as the site. There was also a gold ring and a golden image, similar to that of the handle of a stamp, found here. They are now in the Museum of Glasgow. There is an eddy in the Clyde near the site, which is named from the Chapel.
"In this Parish there were several subordinate Chapels to the Church, "( at Bothwell)" in the period preceding the Reformation.
Chalmers' Caledonia."
The Revd. Dr. Gardiner, Bothwell very much doubts the existance of a Chapel here at any time, but as before stated, the ground about the site is well known to the people as the "Chapel".
