On N side of road; roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) with ruins of parish church of Inchinabracky (CO076-03002-) at centre; in occasional use. Coleman (1913-16b) notes 'about fifty headstones here, besides two table-tombs', the earliest dating from 1740s; O'Shea (1988, 80) notes headstone, dated 1749, as containing 'a richness of new decorative motifs, notably the lozenge-shaped panel containing the inscription'; second 1749 headstone described as 'magnificent specimen' (ibid., 79), range of motifs include two Eagles, Chain, Hourglass and Set-Square (probably indicating membership of Masonic Order). New C of I church built across road to SE in 1839 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 235), but not shown on 1902 OS 6-inch map; site now occupied by manufacturing premises.
