Notes
'Knowe of the gallows' (tom na croiche). This is the unusual stepped mound now in the kirkyard of the present-day kirk of Kiltarlity & Convinth, built here in the 18th century. The assimilation of the specific element to SSE cross seems to have taken place in the first half of the 19th century.
