These three fields lie on a medieval trackway from Kilton and were
given the name Chapel Fields on the 1767 map and the 1845 tithe map. The
significance of the name is not obvious. Perhaps a chapel once stood in these
fields or perhaps the rent from the fields were provided for the upkeep of a
chapel. (Robert Daniels. 1990. Kilton: A Survey of Moorland Fringe Township
in Medieval Rural Settlement in North East
England. Architectural and Archaeological Society of Durham and
Northumberland Research Report No 2, edited by B E Vyner,
