Churchyard And Chapel, Kilmahog

The graveyard at Kilmahog occupies the site of a chapel dating back to the mid-13th century. The current graveyard layout, including its boundary walls, largely dates to the late 18th century and is arranged in a quadrilateral shape. A gabled portal with a semi-circular archway provides the main entrance, with a smaller round-arched opening at the gable apex containing a bell. A mort house, built in the 19th century, is incorporated into the boundary wall; its blank northeastern face slightly projects from the wall itself. The mort house entrance is on the northwestern gable and includes a partially blocked window facing into the enclosure. A metal plaque marks the approximate location of the former chapel, though its foundations are no longer visible. Sections of the boundary wall have been breached in places to the southwest.

The graveyard contains numerous moss-covered lying slabs, with some appearing to date to the 17th century. Several gravestones with pedimented and arch-topped designs are from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and other 19th-century grave markers are scattered throughout. A prominent monument, the Macfarlan Monument, stands near the northwest wall. Erected in 1851 to commemorate William Macfarlan, it comprises a central sandstone wall with a block pediment holding an urn, with radiating railings attached to flanked, corniced piers.

The boundary walls are constructed of random rubble, with squared rubble used in parts of the gabled portal which features ashlar coping to the gable apex and cast iron gates. The mort house is also built of random rubble, with a boarded timber door and a grey slate roof.
