Full Description
The Grave Yard at NG 908 207 is modern.
An archaeological assessment of the proposed route of the pipelines between Letterfearn and Ratagan, Ratagan and Ault a' Chruinn, and Ardelve and Sallachy was undertaken by C Dagg in 2000.
The following three sites are in the general area of Cill a' Chaoin-tearn, considered to be a chapel dedicated to St. Kentigern, and associated burial ground. The last burial here apparently took place in 1870, and the location of the chapel and burial ground has now been lost.
NG 9085 2078 Cemetery. This cemetery has only recently come into use. It is not marked on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map and contains no features older than the past few decades. <1>
