70: Boisdale, NF 7354 1738

c.45m diameter, 3m depth of deposits, surveyed June 1995, ruined chapel and cemetery.

No pottery. No finds. No ground disturbance and none of the burials are recent. Presumably this prominent mound is artificial and an ancient settlement site.

Parker Pearson and Sharples
