What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilrenny Churchyard as Human Remains (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Kilrenny Churchyard is associated with St Rynny (or St Renie), a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary who is said to have founded a church in the area. Local tradition links the site to healing rituals and pilgrimages, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin, though specific folklore connected to the churchyard remains largely undocumented.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
