OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed., (1924)
Cladh a' Bhile: Oval enclosure overlaid by later wall; cross on massive outcrop block at NW. At least 33 erect markers and early crosses can now be seen, the ground having been carefully cleared by the proprietor.
A large block of stone near the gate, possibly a coffin-rest, has a saddle-quern or stone basin lying on it, and the walls are lined with mill-and rotary quern stones.
Part of this site is still in use as a family burial ground.
