(NJ 0154 5988) The church of Moy, which in 1574 was served by the same minister as those of Dyke and Forres, was united with Moy in 1618. The building stood near the northwest corner of the burial ground near Moy Hall. Some gravestones lie upon the site of the kirk and there is also the top of a lancet window. No dedication given by these, and other, authorities.

Within the disused burial ground, at NJ 0156 5984, is an overgrown rectangular hollow oriented E-W and measuring c17.0m by c8.0m, with traces of walling along its E end. Gravestones occupy the interior. There is no sign of the lancet window, but this would appear to be the site of the church. The present boundary of the graveyard is modern, but the old graveyard boundary is probably defined within it in the N, W and S by a curving change in ground level, indicating an oval plan, destroyed in the E.
