IODHLANN MHOR (The Big Stackyard'). This name has been applied to the flat-topped oval mound situated at NR350887, just over 200 m s of the priory. The summit area measures 27·5m from SE to NW by 22m transversely, and its sloping flanks rise to a maximum height of about 3·5 m. There are slight indications of walling in the SE sector, but limited excavation through the centre of the mound in 1929 showed that it was largely of natural origin caused by sand blowing (Pennant 1772, 272; Grieve p.378; Loder p.76, who supplies the Gaelic name; MS notes by FC Mears, August 1929, in NMRS).
