Eairy Mooar Keeill

Archaeology

The site of an early medieval chapel or keeill, thought to have been in use between AD500 and AD1000. Only the foundations of this keeill remain. This feature now resembles a scooped-out, partly grass covered cairn measuring 8.0 metres north to south, by 7.0 metres east to west.  It is stands on a hillside sloping down to the north. The height of the mound to the north is 1.5 metres and the maximum height to the south is 0.3 metres. In the centre is a scooped out rectangle orientated east to west which measures 4.0 metres by 2.3 metres. There are slight indications of an entrance in the western side. No trace of a burial ground enclosure has been found here.
