"One memorial of Roman Catholic days exists in the ruin of a chapel called Kirk Dominæ, and
"in a well close by it, in the rising ground behind, and approached by a regularly built archway.
"On the site of this chapel an annual fairs most inconveniently held on a Saturday." Stat. [Statistical] Acct [Account] 1842.
"Of old, however, there was a place of worship, now called Kirkdamdie, not far from the existing church. +++
"In the rear of the Kirk there is an excellent well, approached by a covered way. It is not Known when
"this place of worship was erected. It was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and probably emanated
"from the Church of Girvan, to which parish it formerly belonged. In some of the Charters it is
"called Kildomine, and in one or two old manuscripts Kildinine and Kildamnie" ++++ "The Chapel appears
"to have been in use down to the Reformation, when, like other places of Roman Catholic worship, it
"probably suffered from the zeal and fury of the times." Patersons Hist. [History] of Ayr.
