Notes

The existence of a burial ground (Gaelic cladh) here is not certain, though OS 6 inch 1st edn marks 'Burial Ground (site of)' at this NGR. NMRS records evidence suggesting that it was a fort, though of course this does not preclude the possibility that an old fort was re-used as a cemetery. OS Name Book surveyors thought they could identify grave-stones (NMRS).
