Notes: A sherd from a 13th or 14th century jug was found in a small boulder cave Toll a' Bhuic [NS 21200 91720], near Ardentinny. Midden refuse was plentiful in the cave, but other caves on the site showed no sign of habitation. The cave is situated in a wild country and was probably only a temporary habitation. [Kirby]
