A food vessel, 5 1/2 ins high and 5 1/4 ins in diameter at the mouth, which was found in 1891 in a cist at Quinish (NM 415 542) is now in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) (Accession no: EE 72). It was donated by James A Forsyth, Quinish, in 1893.

Mr H Maclean (of Dervaig) indicated the findspot on the ground at NM 4150 5385. The cist was found while quarrying for gravel and the capstone is preserved in a flower bed by the front door of the house some 20m to the W.
