Details Remains of a church. A church was said to have been built circa 1109 in this area. A map of 1769 shows the medieval church still standing in its churchyard. The walls are reported to have still been standing to a height of 1m in the 19th Century. A Roman Catholic mausoleum chapel was built in 1848, at least partially on the medieval building (according to the ONB a vault of the earlier building formed the south wall of the chapel). and in 1878 a church was built by the Leslie family contiguous with the nkrth wall of the medieval church enclosing the Leslie tombs. Now roofless, this was never consecrated. The graveyard is no longer used. A roll-moulded gateway to the graveyard has date of 1719 on it. The 1718 Leslie Archway constructed in memory of the Fetternear lairds, collapsed in 2002.
