NOTE: The grid reference for this site in the original RCHAMS source (see linked CANMORE record) is given as NG 5039 which puts it on the corner of an OS grid square to the west of Camustianavaig. However, see MHG63314 as this is probably the correct location and even with a reduced 4-figure grid reference would still be within the NG 5039 grid square [IS-L 05/07/2024].
