A ruin situated on the braes of the Carse of Cowrie, in the parish of
Longforgan, about two miles distant from Fowlis Church. It is in a very
fragmentary condition (Fig. 1454), only the chancel arch remaining in
anything like a perfect state, together with the foundations of the side

walls and part of the east wall. As shown in Fig. 1455, the chancel is
about 28 feet long by 19 feet wide inside. The width of the chancel arch
is about 11 feet, and from the ground to the top of the cap is about 7
feet 2 inches.
The jambs and arch mouldings (Fig. 1456) are of a simple character, and
they are separated by a moulded cap, shown in Fig. 1457. From the form
of the base of the jambs and the section of arch and jamb, it may be

inferred that the building is not earlier than the end of the fifteenth
or beginning of the sixteenth century.
