It is isolated from the high lands which rises towards the South by a Narrow Valley No part of which is higher than 50 ft above the high water Mark. Near the base of this hill and on its South Side the Site of A Chapel is Still pointed out by the people in the Neighbourhood. There is nothing indicative of a Chapel ever having Stood on the Spot except a few large and apparently very old ash trees.
