Graveyard

What is recorded here

Read the whole record

On a lower N-S ridge in undulating terrain, surrounded by pasture. Buolick church (TS048-020002-) stands at the N edge of the present graveyard which forms a roughly D-shaped area (dims. 70m E-W; 40m N-S) S of the church. The graveyard is delineated by a stone wall with a gate in the S section. It appears that the graveyard was formally larger, extending northwards (dims. 60m E-W; 45m N-S) forming a large sub-oval area (dims. 70m E-W; 85m N-S), the northern portion of which is defined by a scarp (H 0.52m; Wth c. 6m). There is another area (dims. 30m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by scarp (H 0.5m; Wth c. 4m) immediately W of the graveyard wall which may also be part of the original graveyard. The walled graveyard is still used for burials. Both within the church and the graveyard are headstones dating from the 18th century onwards. The earliest noted dates to 1750 and is located against the W wall of the chancel arch of the church.
