NF71NW 2 7427 1919.
(NF 7427 1919) The islet, Eilean Chreamh, was once occupied by a dun. Only a 'mound of tumbled stones' remains 'round the edge of the island which measures about 80' diameter. A causeway, about 40 yards long and 9ft broad, connects the isle with a narrow promontory on the western shore of the loch.
