The ruins of the old parish church of Drumdelgie stand within a roughly square, walled burial-ground on a terrace on the W bank of the River Deveron. For the most part the walls of the church are between 0.6m and 1m in height, but fragments of the W gable still stand about 3m high; internally the church measures 14.6m from E to W by 5.6m transversely. At first sight, the level of the burial-ground appears to be higher than the surrounding field, but this is probably no more than the result of cultivation to either side. The thin mortared wall of the burial-ground stands on a much broader boulder foundation on the E, and several other large boulders protrude through the grass on the S. Two 18th century grave-stones were identified in the burial-ground and the rest appear to be of 19th century date.
