From the Wikipedia article
Mugeary (Scottish Gaelic: Mùigearraidh) is a farm or croft and former settlement on the island of Skye, Scotland. Located 4 kilometres (2+1⁄2 miles) southwest of Portree, it is known as the location where the basaltic rock mugearite was first identified. The Gaelic name is derived from Old Norse and probably means "narrow field".

Background
History
The ruins surrounding the extant croft suggest a more substantial settlement prior to the Clearances, which devastated many parts of Skye, and a well-documented case from the 1850s in the parish of Snizort exists. The RCAHMS have identified an old field system northwest of the existing farm buildings that predates 1881 and a second record describes the area as a crofting "township".
