Single storey oblong structure of random rubble construction, with doorway mouldings dated to the 16th century. Roofed with slate. Interpreted as the porch of the 13th century parish church. In 1924 RCAHMS reported that the graveyard was eroding into the sea. Early gravestones from the site have been moved to North Berwick Museum, the remainder have been placed within the church. Finds from the site include a 13th century grave slab, a mould for making pilgrim's badges, and an incised cross slab of 9th or 10th century date. The site is as described in RCAHMS, it lies in a grassy area with information boards and is maintained as a tourist attraction. RCAHMS 1924 57-8 no 103.
