Cairn, Cnoc nan Aingeal, Carinish.
On the summit of a rocky hillock, Cnoc nan Aingeal, rising from the shore some 300 yards north-north-east of Teampull na Trionaid at Carinish, is a small cairn of stones, 12 feet in diameter, and 2 feet in height. In the adjoining marshy hollow to the east is a circular knoll, apparently rocky and natural, rising about 10 feet in height, which is surrounded a few feet from its base by a ring of stones placed in a low bank of earth. The stones have a general height of about 2 feet, are placed a few feet apart, and are very numerous on the south and west sides. The space enclosed by them measures about 110 feet from west-north-west to east-southeast, and some 102 feet across.
