The Howff, Barrack Street, Dundee

The Howff is a burial ground established in 1564, featuring blind arcading from 1601. The wall and railings facing Meadowside were designed by David Neave in 1828, while the gateway to Barrack Street was created by James Black in 1833. The eastern boundary consists of a high rubble and ashlar sandstone wall, which includes a blind arcade that may have once been open, adorned with sculpted capitals and memorials that face the burial ground. There is a roofed burial enclosure to the south, along with a round-headed gateway supported by piers, featuring sarcophagus caps and a large achievement of arms at the parapet, complemented by iron gates. The site also has two capped rusticated gatepiers with iron gates. To the Meadowside, there is a low saddleback-coped ashlar wall that curves towards Barrack Street, with both single and paired gates and tall iron railings. The southern and eastern boundaries are formed by the rear elevations of Bank and Reform Streets, respectively. The burial ground contains funerary monuments dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
