The site of the medieval parish church of Ecclefechan is indicated by an area of raised ground, roughly at the centre of the burial-ground, measuring about 24m from E to W by 12m transversely. The presence of an early 18th-century grave-slab (John Bell, died 1736) on the edge of the raised portion of ground suggests that the church was demolished at some date prior to this.
Within the burial-ground, there are a number of other 18th-century gravestones, including that of Robert Peel (died 1749), together with a memorial to Thomas Carlyle (died 1879). The front wall of the old schoolhouse has been incorporated as part of the perimeter wall of the burial-ground.
