Ruin and cross-marked slab, Loch Coille-Bhar
Ruin and cross-marked slab, Loch Coille-Bhar
The southernmost building of the remains of the hamlet of Kilmory Oib, deserted since medieval times. In the foreground, a cross-marked decorated slab marking a well. Sited in a clearing in the Knapdale Forest, it is visible from the Faery Isles cycle trail and Loch Coille-Bhar footpath. The slab is of local stone (chlorite schist) which splits easily into long thin slabs and the decoration on the reverse depicts two pairs of birds, a sun and moon and a 'thieves cross' according to the nearby information board.
