Remains of a Church, and graveyard. It was probably built in the late-16th century, although the church of Nevay is on record in the 14th century. The church was in St Andrews diocese, and dedicated to St Neveth or St Nevydd. It is rectangular on plan, and has a bellcote on its Western gable. It measures 16.31 metres (53.5 feet) x 5.67 metres (18.6 feet). When surveyed by the OS in 1969, the gable ends stood to their original height, the North wall varied from 1.0 - 1.5 metres (3.3 - 4.9 feet) in height, and the South wall was 2.0 metres (6.6 feet) high. The South door lintel is inscribed '1695' with the initials 'D.N.', although this is probably now concealed by ivy. Further dating comes from a tombstone built into its walls is dated '1597'. The graveyard is enclosed by walls. They are on average 6 feet (1.8 metres) high, and constructed of dry rubble. There is an inset panel, 'BUILT BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION MDCCCXLIII' (1843). The parish of Nevay was united with Eassie in 1660, and services were held alternately with Eassie Church (NO34NE0003) until 1833, when a new church (NO34SW0057) was built on a site convenient to both former parishes. A cross-incised stone was found on the site (NO34SW0024).
