Abstract:		 The unicameral chapel had an early timber phase, possibly stone clad, with a timber altar and two infant burials. The later stone chapel with stone altar and enclosure wall had four burials, three of them minors. The only dating evidence was a 10th century AS silver penny between the timber and stone phases. The surrounding rectangular and circular buildings have not been excavated. No final interpretation can be made, but it is likely to be a non-monastic chapel of Norse origin which remained a place of pilgrimage until the 19th century. F B (See also 88/1880, 1934.)
