Ballavartyn Keeill
Archaeology
The possible site of an early medieval keeill or chapel. The remains of stone walling, thought to belong to a keeill site, was discovered circa 1868 during farming excavations in a field by the high road and nearly opposite 'the Gate'. A low mound, not marked on Ordnance Survey plans, indicated the position but when Kermode visited the site (circa 1918) the field was under crop and further digging was not permissible.
