Tower of Sark (aka Morton, Tower of Sark) burial ground dates from medieval times. Usage ceased some 100 years ago. Centuries ago Morton Church stood adjacent to the burial ground but there is now no trace of it. The 'Tower of Sark' farmhouse and farm buildings now occupy the site of the long-gone Tower. The burial ground is a few hundred yards west of the farm. There is no vehicular access. Vehicles have to be parked at the U237A roadside opposite Tower of Sark farm and then a footpath accessed through a wooden gate and taken for about 100 yards. This footpath, and indeed the burial ground itself are significantly overgrown in summer months, neither being maintained. The U237A road runs south from Milltown (cottages) which are on the B6357 Kirkpatrick Fleming to Canonbie road. Neither Milltown or the U237A are so marked.
