"The present building, the former parish church of Kiltarlity, was probably erected in the 16th cent. (W R Macdonald 1902) In the graveyard of the old church is at least one cup-marked stone, utilised as a grave stone (W Jolly 1882).
------
The church is built of random masonry roughly coursed with rubble in-filling bonded with lime mortar, and measures 17.6m by 7.0m within a wall 0.9m thick. The gables stand to roof height, and are identical, each with two windows one above the other. The side walls stand to a maximum of c.2.5m. There are two entrances on the S. side. The interior is occupied by burial monuments.
There is no trace of the alleged cup-marked grave stone in the graveyard, which is still in use. Visited by OS (R L) 11 March 1970"
