Church, Bell's Brae.
The site of this old church formerly the parish church of Orwell, lies in a secluded burial-ground on the shore of Loch Leven. All traces of building have disappeared, but in places a considerable mound marks the foundations. A modern mausoleum which encroaches on the church site has been erected at the eastern extremity. The churchyard is so thickly covered with nettles and undergrowth that no useful measurements could be obtained. Within it are several 17th century tombstones. One of these, a recumbent stone of 1685, re-used in 1705, bears on each side of the upper face a late version of a vine scroll pattern and, in the centre, a crudely carved double-headed eagle displayed.
