Notes
This is the remains of a chapel, on modern OS map "Rodono Chapel (rems of)". This is one of two church sites in the medieval parish of Ettrick, either of which may have been original parish church site (it was probably at Kirkhope rather than here at Chapelhope). The land in which it is situated is described in c.1235 as Rodanach (OPS I, 260). See NMRS for description.
