OS 6" map, (1961)
There is the site of a burial ground on Eilean Hoan. It has been out of use for the last fifty years.
Name Book 1875.
There are no indications of a graveyard or any other feature visible in formerly cultivated groun at the site indicated on the OS map. However, 100m E of the spot is a piece of rising ground which in places seems to have been artificially scarped and this may have been the site of the graveyard. There is no local tradition of such a feature on the island. Visited by OS (J M) 24 April 1980. (Name Book 1875.)
