History of
the Ardnacross Area
Ardnacross was
ideally sited for occupation by prehistoric people. It is fertile
ground, near to the sea, a source of food and access to other coastal
communities, its importance is underlined by the number of Bronze
Age sites (2600-600BC) in a relatively small area. Details of these
site can be found on the "Stones" page.
A boat crossing
between Rubh' an t-Sean Chaisteal and Morvern is believed to have
been one of the early crossings between the Isle of Mull and the
Morvern area of the Scottish mainland.
The Sound of
Mull has for many years been a haven to ships dodging the often
ferocious Atlantic weather. The narrow geography of the sound could
also present navigational problems in a bad North-Westerly or
South-Easterly
gale. The wrecks in the area are testament to the unforgiving
nature of the wind and the waves.
The Panoramic view on the site marks prominent geographic
points, features, and wrecks in the area.
