(Undated) information from Mr I Thornber.

The location suggested above cannot be verified: Torr na Cabar is not noted on the 1973 edition of the OS 1:10,00 map. It is unclear whether the reference to Morvern indicates that specific parish or the district as a whole.
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 11 June 2002.

GIS spatial data amended in 2021 to NGR as indicated above from previous marginal NGR of 10000 700000 [IS-L 15/11/2021].
