There is a church-yard or burying ground at Dalcross, but it is little used, and part of the walls of the church still remain (OSA 1794). Dalcross was annexed to Croy on 14th July 1618 (Scott 1915-61).

Note (20 August 1943)
Chapel, Little Dalcross. This site was not actually visited, but information was obtained from a resident to the effect that nothing remained of the structure of the chapel but that there was a grave-yard at the far containing table-stones. Apart from these there were no monuments of any interest in the graveyard.
Information from RCAHMS, 20 August 1943.

Only the footings and part of the E gable can now be seen of this church, which measured 17.8m from E to W by 3.6m transversely within walls about 0.8m thick. The parish of Dalcross was united with Croy in 1618, but the burial-ground was still in occasional use in 1794.
