Cronk Skeylf
Archaeology
This was the site of an early medieval chapel or keeill, thought to date to the period AD500 to AD1000. The place was still remembered by local residents as recently as the 1860s but is not shown on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map, as it had evidently been lost by that time. Mr Crellin thought that the high road had been constructed through the site of the keeill.
It was reported that "numerous urns" were found in the area, but these may have been associated with prehistoric burials in the vicinity rather than a keeill.
