No evidence for a chapel was found during a geophysical survey carried out on land to the east of Challonsleigh. Figure 4 shows an area of ferrous/magnetic disturbance close to this grid reference. Such responses are characteristic of small pieces of ferrous debris, or tile, brick or igneous rocks in the topsoil and are generally assigned a modern origin. The site also coincides with a former field boundary recorded as a linear anomaly.
