Camas Chonalain Mor
This site was recorded by NOSAS in 2006 as part of an archaeological survey of Loch Hourn.

Site 824. A rectangular stone building, measuring c10.5m E-W x 3.5m internally. Three of the walls are largely intact and stand to 1.5m high and 0.8m wide. The south wall is tumbled, but has a possible entrance in the centre. The corners are rounded inside and out at the east end. An outshot, 4.25m x 2.5m internally, to the south is more crudely constructed. A small structure, a possible kiln, Site 826, abuts the NE corner. Enclosures, Sites 825 and 827, are adjacent. A winding stone wall, possibly a boundary (not recorded separately), stretches away to the NE.

Site 826. A small, circular stone structure abutting the NE corner of farmstead, Site 824. Internally, it measures 0.7m in diameter and is 0.4m deep. Regular stone facing is visible internally.

Site 825. An enclosure situated on the east side of a small stream to the east of the farmstead, Site 824. Enclosed by the scant remains of a curving wall and, on the NW side, by the stream.

Site 827. A triangular enclosure, lying between two burns, adjacent to and south of Site 824. <1>
