What is recorded here
A hidden chapel and a possible cist in Aberdeenshire, with a well beside them. The dates have gone missing, but the shapes remain: a prayer room, a dead man's box, and water for both. Perhaps neighbours built the chapel around the well because the water never failed, then buried their dead where the prayers already stood.
