Church, Island of Killegray.
At the north-western extremity of the island of Killegray in the Sound of Harris, on a small promontory rising direct some 20 feet above the shore, are the grass-covered foundations of a rectangular building rising less than a foot above the ground. It lies almost due east and west, and measures 21 feet in length by 12 feet in breadth internally, the mound of the wall being about 3 feet 6 inches thick. The door seems to have been in the centre of the western gable. About ¼ mile to the south is a fine spring of water. The church and the well are in all likelihood the Teampull na h'Annait and the Tobar na h'Annait mentioned in The Statistical Account, X., p.375. Part of the wall of Killegray House, according
to local tradition, is all that remains of an old church said to have occupied this site.
