Notes
Beside Garbh Eilean, on the north shore of Loch Garry. OS marks a graveyard at the site, which NMRS records as 'possibly very early'. NMRS: The graveyard, which is near circular and may, therefore, be very early, is now disused. In the SE. corner there is a raised area, 6.0m E-W by 3.0m N-S, possibly the site of the church. Surveyed at 1/10560. Visited by OS (R D) 28 May 1964.
