|
Nerabus (otherwise Nereabolls) is a hamlet in the west of the isle of Islay in Scotland. The vicinity is noted for its scenic qualities and diverse birdlife. Nerabus lies along the A847 road on the route from Port Charlotte to Portnahaven. The locale has an early influence by the Norse.
The remains of a pre-Reformation chapel of whose history and dedication nothing is known. There appear to be three burial grounds associated with the chapel; the one in which it stands containing 15th to early 16th century monuments while that at NR 2254 5495 contains at least two early 16th century monuments as well as a font or basin. The third burial ground contains one fragment of slab with what may be a 'marigold' symbol which is usually dated to about the 7th century AD.
