Ballywillan Church Portrush - Dorothea Ross grave

Bit of a random question but does anyone know the exact whereabouts of the grave of Dorothea Ross in Ballywillan old churchyard in Portrush? She was supposed to have been the illegitimate daughter of James II. There a pictures of the gravestone on the web but tried looking for it and couldn't find it so thought maybe someone from up that way could give me more precise directions!

Many thanks.

    From the Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland (1838) for Ballywillan Parish in
    North Antrim. Describing the old parish church and graveyard at Ballywillan
    (near to Portrush) "On the south side of the church is situated a tombstone,
    erected 1713, to the memory of Mrs Dorothea Ross, who is said to be a
    natural daughter to King James. She was married to a Mr Ross, a merchant of
    Coleraine."
  • Thank you! We will have another look for it.

    Many thanks.
