Corniced ashlar and snecked rubble burial enclosure with hooped ironwork to W, containing memorials to Lundins of Auchtermairnie, including that to Richard Lundin (1791-1832) on console; and to Euphemia, Elizabeth and Emilia Rachel. Harled gable of Fernbank (listed separately) with 3 inset stones, that projecting to left pilastered and pedimented with cartouche in tympanum, and further set-back pediment over with heavily carved fruit flanking monogram at apex.

St Kenneth's Parish Church, a reconstruction of 1619, was demolished in 1849 and the new Parish Church sited in Cupar Road. St Kenneth is attributed with first preaching Christianity in Fife, and The Causeway churchyard is thought to have been the site of his cell.
