Full description:

According to Rev. Macaulay, a college or early religious establishment and seat of learning had existed here ‘in pre-Viking times’ on the slope on the north side of the glen below Loch Mharcoil. There are apparently no surviving traces of the buildings or the associated cemetery, beneath the more recent blackhouses and present croft house.
