NY08SW 26.01 0025 8163.
The present church (built in 1763 and in regular use today) probably occupies much the same site as its medieval predecessor, being situated about 120m from the ploughed-down mound of Tinwald motte (NY08SW 3); it occupies a rise near central to the burial-ground commanding views to the NNW and S across Nithsdale.
The burial-ground is almost circular, though recently extended on the ENE, and may indicate an early date for the foundation of the site. It measures roughly 66m in diameter from E to W and is contained by a substantial bank up to 7.6m in thickness and 0.9m in average height.
An armorial panel bearing the initials SD, IC, and MF, and the date 1618 has been incorporated into the N wall of the charteris of Amisfield burial-enclosure on the N side of the church.
