Remains of a church and a graveyard, shown as ruinous on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps. It is also known as 'Lochlee Old Parish Church' and 'Kirk of Droustie'. The church was dedicated to St Drostan, who is believed to have founded a church on this site in the late 8th century AD. A church on the site, possibly the original church, was reported as having been demolished in the Cromwellian period. The present building is probably the subsequent 17th century rebuild. The church fell out of use in 1803, and the graveyard continued to be used until the mid-19th century. The remains of the rectangular gabled church is constructed from granite rubble. The walls stand to the wallhead level at the west gable and north wall, and there is a rectangular window in the east gable. There are intermittent remains of the south wall. The graveyard is roughly square, and are enclosed by random rubble boundary walls with an iron gate to the east. There are various 18th and 19th century gravestones, including a monument to Alexander Ross.
