It was repaired in 1826 and much recast. The graveyard contains many interesting monuments including the walled enclosure of the MacGillivrays, and a simple gabled watch-house at the churchyard gate. G Hay 1957; New Statistical Account (NSA, Rev James Macphail) 1845; SDD 1964. The old part of the church was built in 1569. Information from Major C J Shaw to OS 5 Feburary 1962. In the churchyard is a yellow sandstone gravestone with 38 cup-marks, and broken into two parts. W Jolly 1882. The church is harled and in use. The burial enclosures at the E and W ends, possibly contain parts of an earlier fabric. There is no trace of the broken cup-marked gravestone, and there was no local information regarding it. Visited by OS (A A) 21 April 1970. A survey of graveyard monuments in Dunlichity churchyard was carried out in July 1997 by S Farrell. 298 memorials were recorded. S Farrell 1997, NMRS MS/997/4.
