Six beehive cells, similar to those on Eilean a' Naoimh, but more ruinous, are clustered together on a sheltered depression leading down from the terrace to Iurach Bay, the only landing-place on this side of the island.
P H Gillies 1909.
Iurach Bay and Port nan Urrachann are one and the same (A MacPhail, boatman, Oban). A perambulation of the area around Port nan Urrachan failed to find any evidence of beehive cells, but a few crude bothy-type shelters lie scattered round the bay.
Visited by OS (WDJ), 14 April 1970.
