Old burial ground in Glen Nevis. It is on the opposite side of the river from teh road so you need either a long walk along the oposite bank from either dirction or a short walk through the river.

 

There are no recognisable grave markers but a number of stones as often used in these old burial ground also three or four rectangular slabs of stone - one measured at about 800MM x 300MM. There is also a short upright stone post.

 

In the centre there is a depression that is roughly square and about each side around six foot. There are several stones/rocks around it.

 

I was told that there was what sounded like an iron mortsafe there until WWII when it went away as scrap metal.
