Church (early Medieval)(possible)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Balnacraig as Church (early Medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Balnacraig is associated with Saint Cronan, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary linked to early Christian activity in western Scotland. The site may have been a place of pilgrimage or ritual, with local traditions suggesting it was used for healing or spiritual renewal, though specific cures or folklore connected to the well are not well documented.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
