[Site of Chapel Prieston]
"A little to the east of the Castle, there are the
vestiges of an old Romish Chapel; though nothing
remains but the foundation, yet the present tenant,
Robert Donaldson, says, his father remembered the
walls three feet high. The floor was of clay, which
being dug, contained human bones. The farm
is called Prieston. The house remains the same
as when the priest lived in it."
