Full Description
NF87NE 18 c874 760.
(Area : NF 875 761) Human remains have been found at Clachan Iosal, when a cist was discovered in a small hillock with the local name of Cnoc na h-Atha. It is also said that there was an earth-house here. (E Beveridge 1911) This cist is not certainly of the 'short cist' type.
J V S Megaw and D D A Simpson 1963; E Beveridge 1911.
The name 'Cnoc na h-Atha' is not known locally, but Mrs Ferguson states that she heard of human remains being found on or near a low mound at NF 874 760, but was unable to indicate the exact spot.
Visited by OS (N K B) 22 June 1965.
