Abstract:
The ruins of the church are described and include a recess with two stones built into it. One of these has a carving of the MacDonald arms and the date 1671. The six sculptured stones, which now all lie within the walls of the church, were probably removed there for greater safety, though they are mentioned as " within the chapel" as early as 1700. Within the chapel are also preserved the ancient baptismal font, and a smaller stone, probably used for holy water. Investigation of the artificial island in Loch nan Eala revealed a structure of oak and birch up to four feet in thickness. Sculptured slabs at Kilchoan include a stone cross. At the head of the cross on the one side is a horse and rider, and on the other side a galley. A further two slabs are decorated, one by a sword and a hunting scene, the other by a scroll down one side, foliated decoration down the other, and a pair of shears.
