Notes:

The old chapel foundation is still here with a few tombstones. The 1862 account describes a small chapel, ‘the sole evidence of vitality about the place were two venerable yew trees, quite decayed in the trunks, and with only a few green sprigs on the top’. Today there is no sign of the yews.
