Full Description

Centred on 511 376

Name: NG 511 376. 'Achnahannait', Field of the Annat, suggests the existence of an Annat, and "wherever there is an Annat there are traces of an adjacent chapel or both; very often, too, the Annat adjoins a fine well or clear stream" (Watson 1926).
There is nothing conclusive visible on air photographs (RAF air photographs CPE/Scot/UK/274: 4374-5) nor does the ONB add anything.
Name Book 1877; W J Watson 1926
