Keeill Unjin Burial Ground
Archaeology
The site of an early medieval keeill or chapel, thought to have been in use between AD 500 to AD1000. There were reportedly graves found here, with an early cross slab also being discovered when the site was cleared by a local farmer in 1899. The site was visited by J.R. Bruce at many times between 1931 and 1966, who commented that there were now no surface remains of the keeill nor was there any knowledge of graves having been ploughed up. The field is now grass covered and there is no visible trace of a chapel or burial ground enclosure remaining.
