What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kirkton, St Fillan's Priory as Priory (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St Fillan was a 7th-century Irish monk and saint associated with healing and the founding of monastic sites in Perthshire, Scotland. The priory at Kirkton is linked to his tradition, as he is said to have established a hermitage nearby, and local wells or sites may have been used for ritual cleansing or healing practices connected to his veneration.
