The medieval parish church of Rosneath and its successors stood in a churchyard 400m from the shore of Rosneath Bay and 40m W of the present church which was built in 1854. A cross-slab (no.3) (NS28SE 3.01)was found at a depth of about 1.2m in the W part of the churchyard in 1880, and was displayed in a window-embrasure of the ruined church until it was moved to the present building in the 1930s. A slab bearing an outline cross and sword (no.2) (NS28SE 3.03) remains in the adjacent embrasure, along with a cable-moulded graveslab of medieval type (A D Lacaille 1925, 146), and a small cross-marked stone (no.1) lies outside the S wall of the present church (NS28SE 3.02).
