Newark, an ancient chapelry on the SE coast of Lady parish, Sanday island, Orkney. Its church measured only 12 feet by 10, and can still be traced. A Scandinavian round tower stood contiguous to the church; and, by diggings about the year 1835, was found to have had two concentric walls, the inner one fully 6 feet thick, and enclosing a space of 12 feet in diameter.
