Archaeology Notes

NH30NW 2 3478 0741.

(NH 3478 0741) Grave Yard (NAT)

OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)

A graveyard about 250 years old, with no church near it. Interments still take place here. It was until recently a Roman Catholic graveyard, but now people are buried in it irrespective of their religion.

Name Book 1871

The existence of this burial ground and the neighbouring name Allt na Cille - "Burn of the Church" - suggests that this is the site of the "Popish meeting-house on the farthest farm west in the parish,

adjoining Glengarry" mentioned by Fraser. It was obviously still in use in 1835.

New Statistical Account (NSA, W Fraser) 1845

The graveyard is still in use and used mainly for R C burials.

No change to previous field report.
