139 | The ruins of the ancient Church, Oratory, & Burial Ground of Kilneuair, in a good state of preservation, the walls being almost entire, & the Font still in position. The stone work of the Church & Oratory is highly ornamental, & in the Burial Ground are several beautifully sculptured Tombstones. The Burial Ground is still used as a place of interment. |
| KILNEUAIR | 139 | "There is also a very fine ruin of a Church, with an oratory close by it, at Kil-neuair on Lochaweside. This seems to have been an important station, as indicated by the beauty of the workmanship, & the traditions connected with the Church. This Church was held in superstitious veneration long after it ceased to be used as a place of worship. A village was once ranged round it, & it was the station in which a market called A' Marghadh Dhun was held; but now the ruins stand alone by the side of a road which few travellers frequent."
