Burial-ground, Kildonan (Site). There are now no visible remains of this burial-ground or of the chapel that is supposed to have stood hereabouts. In 1873 it was recorded that burials had taken place within the memory of the local inhabitants (White 1873). The dedication was presumably to St Donnan.

NR 77763 27377 An 8% evaluation undertaken on 13 June 2007 revealed the foundations of a wall constructed from large, rounded cobbles with a pebble rubble core. The wall was around 1m wide and oriented NNE/SSW; it roughly followed the line of the current road. It had been demolished in the recent past and may have been an earlier boundary wall.
