Summary
Mr and Mrs E R Cregeen
DUN KENOVAY
NL/992455. The “two grassy mounds, certainly artificial and probably sepulchral,” which Beveridge saw 200 yds. N W . of Dun Kenovay and calls ” Da Sithein” appear rather as field- clearances piled on outcropping; rock. This opinion was held by a local crofter, who dated them to the period when the crofts were enlarged.
Discovery and Excavation in Scotland 1958, pp. 10–12.
Two hundred yards to the north-west [of Dun Cheann a’ Bhaigh] are two grassy mounds, certainly artificial and certainly sepulchral – named ‘Da Sithean’, or ‘the two fairy knolls’. Of these, the larger is about 5 feet high and24 feet in diameter, the smaller measuring 3 feet high by 15 in diameter. Neither of these is complete, soil having been removed from both.’ Ernest Beveridge 1903, ‘Coll and Tiree’, p. 108
