Notes on deserted houses, archaeological sites and the geography of Tarasaigh/Taransay with accompanying sketch, 9 July 1870

Notes on deserted houses, archaeological sites and the geography of Tarasaigh/Taransay, describing the houses at Aoi [Uidh] which had been left by families who moved to Paible [Paibeil] including 'a nice box of a house in front with one chim[ney] & plastered' and their situation as being in a 'beautiful spot'. The accompanying sketch is of Clach an Teampuill which is on Croc an Teampuill [Cnoc an Teampuill] and noted are its dimensions, that it is made of grey granite and that its situation is evidently that of a former chapel. Carmichael notes that Uidh is covered by the sea at high tide and the situation of Siatar [Sheadar] which has 'a small knoll half of which is down with the tide wi[th] a tunga [tomb] big stones fal[len] & on up half full of pebbles'. Written transversely over the text is 'See paper in Geographical Magazine for Aug[ust] 1886'.
