This medieval church stood within its burial-ground on a terrace towards the head of a gentle E-facing slope, due E of Corriehills steading. The site of the church is revealed by traces of its turf-covered footings (up to 1.8m thick and 0.2m high) and a terrace, broken by robbing scars and quarried depressions, together defining a roughly rectangular area measuring 26m from E to W by up to 7.4m transversely overall. The S side of this projected church site is respected by a clutch of 17th- and 18th-century gravestones and slabs (the earliest of them being dated 1694).

Project (29 May 2014)
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd, a desk based assessment and walk over survey (May 29th 2014) was conducted
The historic environment record within the Site Boundary is relatively limited, although there is some potential for the proposed development site to contain previously unknown heritage assets from at least the later prehistoric period onwards, given the historic landscape character of the wider area. Taking this into account, the archaeological potential of the proposed development site is considered to be low.
A summary assessment, on a site by site basis, of the predicted effects on the settings of assets within a 10km radius where the blade tip ZTV indicates that there would be theoretical views of one or more turbines
