Description

This is a churchyard surrounding St Athernase Parish Church in Schoolhill, Leuchars, dating from various periods.

A number of monuments within the churchyard date from the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries and are of particular interest. The churchyard possesses group value due to its immediate proximity to the Romanesque section of the church. Several former features, previously listed as items 454, 457-60, and 463, have since been demolished or reconstructed. The statutory address for the site is Parish Kirkyard.
