Notes
This is now a modern house, with no trace or remains of any medieval chapel. NMRS suggests that the chapel was built in the sixteenth century, at the same time as the Tower of Hallbar. Some worked stones were turned up at the site in the 19th and early 20th century. A field nearby was known as Friars Croft.
