The Nunnery, Canna Below the steep cliffs is an ancient site seen from above as two circular rings. Originally it would have been accessed from the sea. The construction comprises an enclosure, the drystone walling of which is 5ft thick. Within the enclosure, four structures are built against the outer wall, while three others are free standing. Of these, only a well-house and mill have so far been determined.
