Dunbennan Old Church is located at the end of a track from the A920 Huntly to Dufftown road, and approximately 1.2 miles from Huntly Cemetery. The medieval church continued in use until 1725, although the parish had been united with Kinnoir before 1640. Ordnance Survey suggests that the original graveyard there had been in use since at least the middle of the 16th century.

The rectangular graveyard was built around the church and this has well-built boundary walls with railings. There are a number of later stone burial enclosures which may incorporate some of the church walls, but this is not clear. There are several gravestones and slabs from the 18th and 19th centuries, some of which have been moved after collapsing.
