This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of Strath, Isle of Skye and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“Two small places with simple names can be found at Ardnish. A’ Chreit is a place where peat was cut. It is perhaps a dialectal version of A’ Chroit, ‘the croft’.”
