Bagh na h-Uamha NM 420 973 NM49NW
The settlement at Bagh na h-Uamha comprises six rectangular buildings adjacent to an area of rig-and-furrow cultivation. The buildings vary in size from 8m by 3m to 4.4m by 2.1m internally, and one overlies the remains of an earlier building. It is probably one of the 'little hamlets' noted by Pennant in 1772 and is depicted as 'Cove' on the maps of Langlands and Thomson.
