Notes
The NGR is for the southern and lower end of the deep glen, which runs down to Glenfinglas. The burn flowing down the glen is Allt Gleann Casaig on OS Maps. About 400 m to the north of Gleann Casaig is a burying ground called Cladh nan Casan, which Watson suggests is 'Cladh nan Ceasanach', 'graveyard of St Kessock's people' (OS NN522103).
