Kilmory Oib Township is a medieval settlement site in Argyllshire, Scotland, located west of Loch Coille-Bharr and associated with an early Christian cross slab and holy well. The cross slab represents material evidence of Christian practice in the region during the early medieval period, whilst the holy well reflects the continuity of sacred site veneration characteristic of Scottish Highland communities. The township itself testifies to the patterns of settlement and land use in this area during the medieval and potentially later periods. The site combines archaeological features typical of early Christian Scotland with evidence of sustained habitation, making it significant for understanding both religious practice and settlement organisation in the western Highlands.
