Description

This is a rubble-walled burial ground, likely the site of an earlier church. That church was replaced in 1786 by the old Kilmorack Parish Church, which is located nearby. The entrance is flanked by two square gate piers constructed of tooled rubble and topped with shallow pyramidal caps.
