Full Description
Druim na Ceud - 'Ridge of the Hundred' - is a long low ridge on which traditionally a hundred men were killed and buried during the 15th century battle of the Ruaig Haunsaid (ND06NW 4), the graves being marked by small stones a foot or so in height, set on end. The stones are no longer visible as the ground has been cultivated for some time. (See also ND06NW 3 & 8 for similar stone settings and tradition.) Name Book 1873.
