Menmuir, Parish Church and Burial-ground NO 534 643 NO56SW 3

There are no visible remains of the medieval parish church of Menmuir. The present church was built in 1842 replacing a church built in 1767. When the wall of the burial ground was taken down, about 1843, two sculptured stones were discovered; one is a Class III Pictish cross-slab, the other a rectangular fragment with a projecting tenon. In 1943 part of a second cross-slab and two other sculptured fragments were dug up in the manse garden.
