[Note:] As there are no indications or remains of graves found here and besides no account of such being attached to the chapel it is perhaps better omit the designation Grave Yard on plan.
[Quotation] In Flisk Wood at the opposite extremity of the Parish are low ruins most probably those of a place of worship and consisting of the apparent remains of the edifice and of an enclosing wall. In enumerating the Parish churches and chapels in the deanery of Fife in the eleventh year of King William Sir Robert Sibbald mentions, "Flisk Cum Capella", which of the two noticed above formed this Capella Cannot now be ascertained.
