This enclosure was erected by the Rev. Douglas Macdonald, XIIth Laird of Sanda, in 1846 to mark the spot where his ancestors Archibald Mhor and Archibald Oig, father and son, were shot and buried after the battle of Dunaverty in 1647. Other human remains found on the battlefield were interred here by him.
