About 1840 a new church was built at Broadford (OPS 1854). Lying in the churchyard is an armorial stone.

Another fragment in the churchyard, crude in execution, appears to be the necking and lower arms of a cross. The lower portion is carved with two animals in relief. The reverse is plain.

There is also a recumbent slab of slate containing a foliated cross. The dexter side of the cross is well preserved, but the greater part of the other side has been entirely worn away (RCAHMS 1928).

RCAHMS 1928; Orig Paroch Scot 1854; Reg Sec Sig Reg Scot 1908.

Cill Chriosd: as described by RCAHMS and ruinous. The armorial stones, etc. were not seen.

Visited by OS (AC), 17 April 1961.
