Archaeology Notes

NR76SW 8001 c. 70 64

N55 49 W5 40

NLO: Kilberry Head [name: NR 701 645]

Kilberry Point [name: NR 701 639]

Kilberry Bay [name centred NR 700 635].

Possibly on map sheet NR76NW.

Not to be confused with NR88NE 8003.

Campbeltown, 12th Mar. The MOSES SHEPHERD (schr.) is ashore at North Kilberry, and will become a total wreck.

Source: LL, No. 16,200, London, Wednesday, March 14 1866.

NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 11018).

The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. North Kilberry is not noted as such on the 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. The name apparently applies to an ill-defined area on the W coast of Knapdale. Kilberry Castle (NR76SW 16) is at NR 70799 64131.

The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 6 February 2009.
