Scargill Chapel
There's not much to see of Scargill Chapel except a square shaped mound and a small piece of masonry. The chapel is visible as the lower courses of a single roomed rectangular building, orientated east to west, constructed of sandstone rubble. The chapel has maximum dimensions of 14.5 metres by 7 metres, with walls 0.8m thick standing to a maximum of 1 metre high at the east end. The only apparent entrance is central to the south side, but no dateable features survive. The chapel is associated with the medieval fortified house, settlement and field system of Scargill.
