NM c. 858 323. In 1906 the bones of an infant were discovered in the course of excavations in a rock shelter about 1.1km NE of Dunollie Castle. There is nothing to suggest that the burial was of prehistoric origin, although it is possible that the layers of ash and quantities of shells found in deposits beneath it represent earlier occupation (PSAS, xli (1906-7), 181-2; Lacaille, The Stone Age in Scotland (1954), 210-11).
