The ruins are said to be those of a Chapel, which belonged to the Nunnery, which Stood immediately South of it. The ruins are in good presentation and have every appearance of being those of a Chapel. - A portion of the wall South from the Chapel Seems to have been a part of the Nunnery as a door, and two windows, now built up, may still be seen: this portion of the wall is said to have been the west end of the Nunnery - Mr Gibson farmer Cousland, says that in reclaiming the land to the east of the Chapel portions of the foundation walls of some buildings were dug up, which he believes to have been those of the Nunnery. but no portion of the Nunnery now remains except that already mentioned - Near the ruins of the Chapel on the North side of the Yard, a number of human Sculls and bones were dug up - some Years ago, and as some of these sculls seemed to have been perforated as with a bullet; others as if they had been cloven with a Sword, it is supposed that they fell in the battle some where in the vicinity, and were brought to be buried near the Chapel. The Convent is said to have been demolished by the Regent Summerset |
