Situated immediately E of a public road and S of a deserted farmyard, on a S-facing slope in rolling pasture. Kilduffahoo graveyard consists of a sub-rectangular shaped area (c. 15m E-W; c. 25m N-S) covered by ground ivy, scrub and small woodland enclosed by low earthen bank. The E gable and part of the south wall of a ruined friary church (LI015-008001-) stands at N end of graveyard. A steep break in slope (H 0.5m, Wth 1.5m) of ground is visible at S end of graveyard. There are no gravemarkers or any sign of burials. According to Ordnance Survey letters this graveyard was used mainly as a children's burial ground. No visible remains of any inscribed memorials although the area is covered in scrub which may cover any such evidence. Graveyard described in 1840 as following; 'This is the ruins of a Friary, about 60 feet [18.2m] long and 24 feet [7.3m] wide, with a portion of the walls 4 feet [1.2m] high. Attached to it is a small burial ground, on an eminence about 1 chain [20m] in diameter, used now chiefly for the interments of children' (OSNB, Doon parish, Book 2, 603).
