Notes
The chapel is associated in a charter of 1624 with Chapelton in Drumblade, beside the chapel and a well. Nothing remains of the building. The well is recorded by OS surveyors in 1871 as having been, until recently, resorted to for its healing properties, but by that date nearly filled with shingle (NMRS).
