John Crawford Drimadown John Kennedy Pien Peter Currie Shedog |
248.11 | An Cumhann. (The defile) is a huge dike towering from the sea, and at this place becoming part of the high cliff which surmounts the sea. There is no pass here at high water, except by a narrow chasm, or rent through the rock. |
| CAIRN [Cairn Ban] | Cairn | Peter Currie Shedog | 248.11 | This is called by the natives "Cairn Ban" and has been demolished as far as the present surface of the adjoining land, and the stones of which it was composed were used in the building of cottages and dikes. There are still left standing in the centre of the cairn two upright paralel rows of massive blocks of stones, running nearly north & South and divided into three compartments, which are evidently graves, but they have not been dug into, and their contents remain unknown. |
| BIG RUIN | Big Ruin Big Ruin Big Ruin |
Peter Currie Shedog Neil Robertson Shedog Alexander McKenzie Tormore |
248.11 | This is called by the natives the "big ruin" but what it is, or was is unknown to the oldest inhabitant. It evidently is not an antiquity. It is situate on the side of a gentle slope and is covered with a coating of verdure while all the surrounding parts are covered with heather. It appears to be surrounded at one period with a dike of earth but that has entirely disappeared, and is now level with the surrounding parts. It is in the form of an irregular oval. It probably was a large sheep Ree, or shelter. |
