Ford, Argyll

Ford (Scottish Gaelic: Àth na Crà) is a small village at the southern end of Loch Awe in Argyll, Scotland.

[1] Many prehistoric structures survive within the village boundary and are all easily accessible or can be seen from the public road.

Opposite the guest house, in the village centre, stands a prehistoric burial mound known in Gaelic as Cnoc an Ath (hillock of the ford).

[1] In 2000, a local bird-watcher discovered a prehistoric urned cremation in a boulder shelter at Glennan.

They had suffered from slight spinal joint disease, mild iron deficiency anaemia and were cremated shortly after death, together with a  young sheep/goat, whose bones were also in the urn.
