The graveyard (CO098-037002-) contained parish church (CO098-037004-) of Cullen which was in repair 1615 & 1639 (Brady 1863, vol. 1, 327-8); Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 442) records 'some ruins of the old church'. By 1842 OS 6-inch map shows newly erected C of I church immediately NE of old church, this was concecrated 'under the name of Christ Church' (Brady ibid, 71) in 1849; now reduced to low mound of rubble; no visible surface trace of earlier church. Surrounding this is extensive early ecclesiastical enclosure (5160) (Hurley 1980, 56).
