oblong ; but there are obscure indications of a lateral adjunct, 

 possibly a sacristy, having existed on the north side. Of the 

 nave the north wall is completely demolished, and only portions 

 of the south wall remain ; the west gable, however, is pretty 

 entire. (Fig. 2.)

The chancel, which measures internally 1 8 feet 6 inches by 1 4 

 feet 6 inches, is much less ruinous than the nave, but is so 

 overgrown with ivy that its features are barely discernible. In 

 the east gable are two obtusely pointed windows, 4 feet 1 inches 

 apart, each Zh feet high by 1 foot 3 inches wide. On the outside 

 they are flush with the wall, the edges being merely chamfered, 

 and each of the pointed heads is cut out of one stone. Internally, 

 they are widely splayed, with a segmental arch above. There is 

 a smaller window in the south wall, very obtusely pointed out- 

 side, but having a flat head and sill within. Underneath it is a 

 piscina of vei-y poor and rude character, but interesting as the 

 only example in situ left in Berwickshire, if we except those in 

 Dryburgh Abbey. It has an excessively shallow basin sunk iu 

 a square stone which is inserted diagonally in the wall, so as to 

 leave a triangular projection of about 18 inches at the base of an 

 equally shallow round-headed recess, measuring 2 feet 2 inches 

 by I foot 6 inches. The basin stone is corbelled off below, and 

 has a plain half-round moulding along the under edge, and 

 running up the front angle of the projecting portion. (Fig. 3.) 



In the west wall of the chancel there is observable a blocked 

 semi-circular arch, which may have been the original chancel
