The rectangular burial-ground at Corriehoul lies on a sloping terrace on the north side of the River Don, and is flanked on the west by the Corriehoul Burn. It is enclosed by a coped rubble wall and entered through a wrought iron gate with a plaque recording its construction in 1869. The burial-ground contains numerous nineteenth and twentieth century stones, but the oldest stones all lie towards the lower, south end of the present enclosure, and appear to correspond with the area of a smaller subcircular burial-ground depicted on the first edition of the OS six-inch map.
