This cemetery lies on the east side of Ayr Road (A737), which runs southwards from Irvine town, and just a short distance north of the Three Stanes roundabout. Burial records seem to indicate that it was created in the late 1870s There is a small layby beside the gateway for visitor’s cars. It is a relatively small rectangular burial ground, containing 683 memorial stones, and surrounded by the usual stone walls. Although neatly arranged and tidily kept it has a rather drab appearance, as there are no bushes and little evidence of flowering plants. The only added vegetation seemed to be two pollarded trees set close together near the south end of the cemetery. (From http://www.ayrshireroots.co.uk)
