Full Description
NF96NW 9 9003 6703.
A small island in Loch a' Chonnachair is connected on its W by Y-shaped causeway, two branches converging into one towards the island end.
E Beveridge 1911.
There are no traces of a structure on this heather-covered island, measuring 12.8 x 7.3m x 1.6m. high, which is situated approximately 12.0m from the W shore of the loch at NF 9003 6703. The Y-shaped causeway is visible as a vague spread of stones in shallow water, but is probably a natural formation.
Visited by OS (N K B) 24 June 1965.
