For adjacent Kilmartin Parish Church, see NR89NW 85.
NR 834 989. An early cross stands to S of the main entrance to Kilmartin graveyard. There are 2 or more early stones. At the E end of the first railed enclosure - Campbells of Kilmartin - are two later box-tombs; the E end of the second of these is formed from a cut-down slab with a wheel-headed cross on its outer face. Among medieval stones, the churchyard contains a fine crucifix, said by Drummond (1881) to have been brought from a roadside site "1/4 mile from the church" where he was told the socket remained. There is a smaller crucifix beside it, and many gravestones, some collected under a roof by the D o E in the mausoleum of the last Episcopal bishop, Neil Campbell; also many more stones in the ground, some defaced by over-cutting in the 19th c.
