Description
The remains are of an old church, initially rebuilt in 1743 and subsequently taken down in 1805. Much of the stone was reused in the construction of the new Kelton Parish Church. The site includes a walled churchyard, enclosed by a rubble wall with partial sandstone coping. The churchyard predominantly contains 19th-century gravestones. Additional information can be found in the Ordnance Survey of Scotland volume 8, page 303.
