011.13 "There seems to have been a chapel endowed by the"family of Sempill before the erection of the Collegiate church, the lands of which merged in that foundation, and a place still called Chapleton, near their park & castle, probably marks its site" Origines Parochiales Scotiae Vol 1 : page 93 _
The farm steading of Chapleton alluded to in the quotation is now away, though the name is preserved in the burn which flows near the supposed site of chapel. Mr. Love infroms me that the exact Site cannot be pointed out. The tree north of the holy well marks the site of the steading near which the chapel is supposed to have stood; and around the spot which I have marked (+) [site of monument symbol] the present farmer, in course of drainage, removed many large stones & slates. The site I have shewn is, as near as can be asceratined from the information I could get, the probable site of the Chapel.
HOLY WELL [Chapelton Burn] Holy Well

011.13 The Holy well in connection with the chapel is still to be seen. It was closed up with stone & rubbish, but the present farmer cleared it out. It seems to have been enclosed with masonry work at one time, parts of which are remaining, and it is supposed a small door was attached. I have shewn the well on trace, and written Holy Well to it. I could find no record to shew [show] in what Saint the Chapel & well were dedicated.
