NO 40152 30357 (NO43SW 22) A detailed mapping survey was commissioned by Dundee Howff Conservation Group of all the gravestones, burial monuments, walls and paths within the Howff burial ground. In April 2017 two robotic total stations and a survey grade GPS device were used to undertake the survey. The positions were recorded of 1751 burial monuments and several additional stray fragments. This included a previously unrecognised medieval coped gravestone dating from the 12th or 13th century which was discovered near the NW side of the cemetery. A photographic and written record of the monuments was also taken with the assistance of community volunteers.
