(NH 480 581 Graveyard (NAT)
OS 6" map, (1971)
A graveyard, still in use, in which stood the church of the former parish of Kinettas, which name survived only as that of a farm house at NH 4818 581 in 1876.
No record is known of this church before the period of the Reformation, nor when the parish was united to Fodderty, which is presumably when it was abandoned, but ruins were said to have existed towards the end of the 18th c. Bain gives 'Killetash' as an alternative spelling and states that there was a 'Culdee' station or chapel here (presumably on the strength of the 'Kil' element).
