OS Map Ref: NX 699 460
In a remote bit of countryside a few miles from Kirkcudbright, inside the Dundrennan Military Range and a good 10 minute walk across fields from the nearest track (boots needed). The church is now demolished down to a foot or so high with burials inside the church and surrounding. There are some recent burials (2005).
A stone near the entrance appears to be the old font.
Number of CWGC burials None
