Early 18th century churchyard, to S and E of former Menmuir Parish Church (see separate listing), containing several monuments and headstones of interest, notably that to Keatren Fairweather, 1702. Some headstones with heraldry or symbolic carvings. Rubble red sandstone and coped boundary walls; retaining wall to S. Tooled ashlar square gatepiers to with cast iron gates with scrolled arrowheads to N and W; that to W flanked by narrow section of low wall topped with railings and connected boundary wall to W elevation of church; that to N adjoined to Carnegy vault enclosure of church.
A good example of an 18th century churchyard with a number of well-detailed headstones and memorials. The churchyard and former parish church adjacent to the NW (see separate listing) form an important grouping, significantly located at the centre of a small settlement, which appears to have changed little since the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.
