Circular ground, with a raised centre ( possibly on a large cairn), close to the garden of the Parish Manse’ and between it and the river. It was probably the site of an ancient chapel, removed in order to build the present Lochead house. A standing stone is present, some 2 m (6 ft) high, about 20 m SW of the graveyard. The latter is most likely prehistoric. (From www.rcahms.co.uk)
