Chapel of Naughton
Dublin Core
Title
Chapel of Naughton
Description
A chapel was recorded at Naughton in the twelfth century. It was linked to the medieval parish of Forgan. Both Forgan and the Chapel of Naughton were appropriated to St Andrews Cathedral. The site of the chapel is uncertain, but it may have been on or near Peacehill – which was historically known as Kirkhill. The chapel does not appear to have survived the Reformation, and may have been abandoned some time before the sixteenth century.
