Description
This is a small walled burial ground dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. It is likely the location of the early church of Kilmonivaig. The burial ground was formerly bounded to the north by the River Lochy, which was diverted to its present course in the early 19th century to accommodate the Caledonian Canal.
