All that remains of this church is the S aisle (now a burial-enclosure), which stands in the burial-ground immediately E of St Cyrus church; it was built in 1632 to replace the medieval parish church of Ecclesgreig (NO76SW 2). The present church was completed in 1787, and about this date the parish became known as St Cyrus.
