The attack was in retaliation for the massacre of hundreds of members of Clan Macdonald on the island of Eigg the previous year. The church and surrounding graveyard contain late medieval carved gravestones. (wikipedia)

In its early says it was known as (St Conan’s Church). www.visit-waternish.co.uk/listings/trumpan
