(NH 3478 0741) Grave Yard (NAT)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)
A graveyard about 250 years old, with no church near it. Interments still take place here. It was until recently a Roman Catholic graveyard, but now people are buried in it irrespective of their religion.
Name Book 1871
The existence of this burial ground and the neighbouring name Allt na Cille - "Burn of the Church" - suggests that this is the site of the "Popish meeting-house on the farthest farm west in the parish,
adjoining Glengarry" mentioned by Fraser. It was obviously still in use in 1835.
New Statistical Account (NSA, W Fraser) 1845
The graveyard is still in use and used mainly for R C burials.
