Description
Canonbie Parish Churchyard features a roughly triangular layout and includes a re-erected Romanesque sedilia arch. The churchyard is enclosed by rubble-built walls topped with ashlar coping, and there is a wrought-iron gate at the northeast corner that dates from 1909. The site contains mainly 18th and 19th century carved headstones. The sedilia is the only surviving recognizable fragment of a nearby priory and has been adapted as the Donaldson monument, which includes a moulded and arched recess with dog-tooth ornament and carved label stops. There is also an anonymous square-plan mausoleum built of ashlar with crenellations from the earlier to mid-19th century, as well as a piend-roofed watch house located to the west.
