The remains of the post-reformation church of the parish of Tullichettil or Tullichettle measure internally 12.7m long x 4.2m wide with grass-covered walls 0.4m high x 1.0m thick. There is no known dedication and the interior is now filled with burials. Tullichettle is the latest correct spelling and the one generally in use.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (RD) 29 November 1966
The remains of this church and burial-ground remain as described by the OS (29 November 1966), and are maintained in a tidy condition.
The church has been reduced to wall-footings, and there is a large yew tree by the SW corner. The area of the interior is occupied by numerous level slabs and a table-tomb, while there are more recent grave-slabs and -stones around. The slabs are worked in a friable sandstone which has exfoliated severely, so that no individual examples of early date can be read or identified.
