Burial Ground


The burial ground is right next to the shore by Kirk Noust. This is on the west side of the island and a short distance north west of Lakequoy.

There are a good thirty gravestones although some are merely the remains of broken stones and others are difficult to read. However, quite a number of the gravestones are decipherable and provide an ongoing record of those who lived and died on the island.

The burial ground is right by the shore and there has been some underming by the west sea. Remedial action has proved necessary to provide support to the back wall.
