Dail na Cille: An arable field at the E end of Druim Dubh containing the graveyard from which it derives its name.
Name Book 1872.
NM 8443 5286. An unenclosed burial ground containing 18th century graves. Still in use.
Visited by OS (A A) 26 May 1970.
Burial-ground, Dail na Cille, Kingairloch: This burial-ground is situated close to the N shore of Loch a' Choire, on level ground about 70m ESE of Kingairloch post office. There are no visible remains of an enclosure wall, although there are several small burial-enclosures of 19th century date. The earliest identifiable funerary monument is a recumbent slab of slate bearing the incised initials H M L and the date 1760.
The place-name 'Kilbedane', found in a list of Kingairloch lands in a Crown charter of 1509 may perhaps refer to this site which is otherwise unrecorded.
RCAHMS 1980.
Project (2000)
