Description

The gateway and churchyard at Kinglassie Kirk date from the late 17th to early 18th century. The segmental-arched gateway, which has lost its inner arch, is accompanied by a semi-derelict lean-to offertory house to the north. The structure is built of random rubble with ashlar quoin strips, a keystone, voussoirs, skews, moulded skewputts, and a block finial. The offertory house features a door on the south side and a small window on the west side.

The graveyard contains 18th and 19th century moulded and inscribed headstones. Notable examples include a 1743 memorial to Michael Stone, a tenant at Goot Milk, which features a winged angel and fluted columns supporting a dentilled ogee cornice. The reverse has similar mouldings with the initials AN MD, along with an hourglass, skull, and crossed bones. Another significant stone from 1817 includes an anchor and flanking cannons, erected by Andrew Young RN in memory of his wife.

The site is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls, which include a timber door set within an architraved pedestrian gate to the west.
