128 | This object is a small enclosure about 20 yards square situated abour 60 yards W.N.W. [West North West] from Tobar Chloluim-chille, Information even as to the period at which the latest internments took place here is not obtainable, and the fact that it was used as a burial ground appears to have been conveyed from one generation to another, from a remote period, as traces of a grave having been appeared on the surface, within the last 60 years at least, probably much longer, but as authentic information can be got concerning a longer period, Local tradition states it to be an ancient Burial Ground. From Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland. "Gavelloch Isles, a group of pastoral islets in the parish of Jura, Argyllshire. They yield a rental of £150, They were a residence of the monks of Iona, and therefore are often called the Holy Islands. Some vestiges of a chapel and a cemetery are still observable." |
