Full Description
The burial-ground of Culinellan is at the farm of the same name. Just outside it are the remains of a house called "the chapel" which may have occupied the site of an ancient church. (See NH 06 SW 4 -Culinellan Church).
There are only a few shapeless stones in the burial-ground. (See also Burial Ground - NH 06 SW 1).
J H Dixon 1886
The burial ground now enclosed by a modern fence, is still in use.
The remains of a building, presumably "the chapel", are visible as a pile of rubble to which has been added field clearance. The building is reputed locally to have been a prayer house and may be the site of the church (NH 06 SW 4).
Surveyed at 1/2500. Visited by OS (R L) 25 October 1966
