Notes
The west end of the chapel (ritual west end), hemmed in by an arrangement of outbuildings, forms the fourth side of a courtyard. The north-east and north-west corners of the court are occupied by a dairy and another outbuilding that resembles a wash house, respectively. The courtyard entrance is on the west wall.
The west half of the chapel has a semicircular end articulated with attached columns. For full plan, see preliminary designs on SM 47/2/52 and SM 47/2/53.
