Details |
Site of a church, and a graveyard within rubble-built enclosing walls with rounded copes. The walls average five feet (1.5 metres) high, and date from 1822. There is a pair of spearheaded gates at the same height as the wall. From the 1st edition OS map (1859) to the present, there is an unroofed building shown to the North-East of the graveyard. The church itself was medieval, and was a rectory belonging to Guthrie church. The exact date of its suppression during the Reformation is not known, but it was probably demolished at the same time. There is now no trace of the church, but an area of elevated land with no gravestones at the centre of the enclosure appears to be a likely site. There are two medieval stones recorded in the graveyard, one of which has a cross and shaft carved on it, described as a Celtic cross by Atkinson in 1988. A font has also previously been recorded on the site, but a visit in 1988 could not find it. The graveyard is possibly still in use, with a burial from the 1960s found by a survey in 2011 by SCHR. The site is also known as Carbuddo.
