Kilkerran near Campbellton
Description
View of loch-side settlement consisting of a number of houses, a memorial monument in the shape of an obelisk and a small earthern mound upon which stand a number of gravestones. A rocky island juts out of the middle of the loch, while a boat sails nearby. A land-bridge appears to connect the island to the shore, where a small village can be seen in the distance. Trees dot the scene, especially around the graveyard.
