Details Remains of church and burial ground. It was Auchindoir North Parish Church, built in the early 19th century to replace the medieval St Mary's Church (NJ42SE0001). Rectangular in plan, built of coursed squared granite rubble. There are four Gothic windows on the southwest frontage, a bellcote and square projection at rear containing stair. A later session house was added at the northwest gable. Interior had U-plan gallery on square columns and the original pulpit. Redundant from the early 1990s, it is now disused and a roofless shell. The graveyard contains six Commonwealth war graves, of the First and Second World Wars. Site visit in March 2025 also noted a World War II memorial plaque placed some time after August 2024 against the interior of the east gable, inscribed 'Sacred to the Memory of the men of Auchindoir who fell in the World War', listing the names of those lost.
