What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Wamphray Church as Cross (early 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.
Wamphray Church is associated with St Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer, and is linked to traditions of pilgrimage and miraculous cures. The site is believed to have been a place of early Christian worship, with local folklore suggesting the presence of a holy well or sacred spring nearby, used for ritual purification and healing.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
