Notes
NMRS records this as the site of a church, in the centre of a burying ground called Cladh Uradain. 'This is pointed out as the site of the Old Church of the parish of Bona but no trace of it remains, and nothing appears to be known about the date of erection or when disused.' However, there is another site which claims to be the site of the parish kirk, at Killianan, q.v.
