Abstract: |
Hassendean Chapel and its associated burial ground once lay on the western bank of the Hassendeanburn. The Chapel had medieval origins and was washed away in the later 18th Century. An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the construction of the abutments for a new foot bridge at this location. No definitive evidence of the Chapel or burial ground was found. However, a curving retaining wall of worked sandstone and mortar was revealed, which may have been contemporary with the Chapel, perhaps defining the edge of the burial ground, although a later date must be considered equally possible. |
