What is recorded here

St Cuthbert's Chapel in Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway, may date to the 13th Century, though only architectural fragments and an earthwork bank remain visible today. A medieval tower house also stands nearby, suggesting the site sustained worship and defence for generations. The exact boundary between chapel and fortress has blurred under grass and time, leaving behind a shape rather than a label.
