Notes
This site is attested by Blaeu/Mull (1654), which shows this name beside two symbols, one for a settlement and one for a kirk/chapel. Its location is inferred, very vaguely, from its position on that map, as well as the location of Killumar on the map of 1832, about one third of the way between Balnahard in the north and Balmeanach in the south. At this point OS 6 inch 1st edn shows a small building.
