Keil Church, medieval graveslabs

Heritage listing

Date Added 18/08/1999 Supplementary Information Updated 04/01/2018 Type Crosses and carved stones: tombstone Local Authority Highland Parish Morvern NGR NM 67115 45172 Coordinates 167115, 745172 — The monument comprises of a collection of carved stones of medieval date. The stones are housed in the former session house of the Kirk, a rectangular building which has been converted for their protection and display. The stones are mostly from the Iona school of carving dating to the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. The stones are said to have been brought from Iona and placed in the church graveyard before they were moved to their previous location inside the church. This probably reflects the location of the school of carvers with the stones being carved for use in Keil. The area proposed for scheduling is the interior of the Session house. It excludes the structure of the building but includes the mountings of the stones and the stones themselves. The area measures roughly 5m N-S by 7m and is marked in red on the accompanying map extract.
