Object Classification
Settlement
Is linear feature?
No
Notes
It is about the nearest point on the mainland of Kintyre to the island of Sanda, and the chapel there. It is likely (especially given that there is no evidence of a chapel on the lands of Kilmashenachan farm) that this farm provided revenue for the support of the chapel and chaplain on Sanda.
