OS1/2/1/56 [Page] 56 Sheet 87-1 -- Parish of Ardchattan, Argyllshire. [Note under Stone Circle:] See page 32 [Additional quotation re. Fort:] "Nearly half way betwixt Connell and Shian, and a little to the west of the high road which connects these ferries, there is a verdant isolated eminence of some extent, the base of which is partially washed by the Atlantic. It is known by the name of Dun-Mac-Sniachan, that is "the fortified hill of the son of Sniachan." - and is accessible from the east by what would appear to be an Artificial opening made through the rock. It forms one of those vitrified forts which have engaged the attention and exercised the ingenuity of Antiquarians, and in regard to the vitrification of which the most plausible theory seems to be, that it was occasioned by beacon fires lighted there to warn the inhabitants of the approach of an enemy. The remains of a Druidical Circle can also be traced on the summit of this eminence. It has been conjectured that near this hill stood the famous city of Beregon and it is held also that Dun-Mac-Sniachan is the identical Selma of the poet Ossian, and the site of the Palace of the Fingallion dynasty."

Supposed to have been used by the Priests of the early settlers in a part of their devotional rites; or probably to mark the resting place of a king. The "Origines Parochiales" describes two as standing here in 1772 but one only remains now.
OS1/2/1/57 STANDING STONE [New Selma] 087 There is a smaller one of the same slab like form, being only about 5 feet high, in the centre of a field a little to the North of "New Selma".

Several years ago when the field in which the former stone stands was being ploughed, a large stone lying flat embedded in the surface was discovered. It is most likely that this is other stone spoken of in the "Origines Parochls [Pariochiales]".

Several of the walls are still partly standing, one of which is fully 10 or 12 feet thick, and perforated by an archway. Some scantly remains of its ornamental carving are still to be seen, two figures inserted in the wall, and a font. There are also many curiously carved tombstones: one said to cover the grave of Bishop Carswell bears the effigy of a priest, and is nearly covered with inscriptions in the runic character. "The once celebrated Ardchattan priory is now little better than an ivy mantled ruin. The site of the Chapel in connection with the monastery can still be distinctly traced.

The cloisters, the arched entrance to which is still visible were situated to the north and from these there was a private door to the church about the middle of its north wall. At the south east corner of the church a tasteful arch in the wall still remains divided into 3 compartments two of which seem as if they were intended for images or relics. Part of the outside tracery of this arch is still entire, and at its lower extremity on the west side is to be seen one of those grotesque figures of animals which were so common at that time. The priors residence was to the southwest of the monastery, and after having been fitted up and undergone certain necessary changes has long been and is still the dwelling house of the proprietor. It's walls are very massive the gables being 7 feet in thickness. In a recess on the first floor there is a singular apartment, with a fine groined roof called the Friars Closet. Behind the prior's house was a court extending 50 feet westward from the principal entrance to the monastery; and the garden which lay to the north, and is now part of an enclosed field, may still be distinguished by its black loam when the ground is turned up with the plough. The cemetery of the order lay south of the church, but the more honoured of the dead appear to have been intered within the walls. Indeed human [continued on page 95]

It is said that a part of the building of the monastery was destroyed before the Reformation: at all events there is no ground for alleging that the reformers ever displaced a single stone here. A portion of the materials of the chapel appear to have been employed by the resident heritors more than a century ago in erecting the parish church:- other portions were used for building fences and outhouses. the carved freestone having at the same time been discovered by housemaids to be admirably suited for cleaning floors and passages. The once handsome and richly arched outer doorway has in this manner been rudely and thoughtlessly mutilated." New Stat: [Statistical] Account: "The priory is now a mere ruin.
