Visited during the Highland Kirkyards project, run by Highland Buildings Preservation Trust. The site at Rosskeen is of considerable architectural importance, consisting of a series of redundant/ruinous buildings, including a large early 19th century roofed redundant church which dominates the site. The Munro mausoleum, erected in the 17th century and restored in 1908, (according to a plaque inside), lies to the east of the roofed church. A series of linked burial enclosures/mausolea, further to the east, of varying dates, lie on a possible previous church site and may incorporate earlier church remains. The large graveyard is in active use and the burial ground has been extended several times. <1><2>
