Enclosure and Mausolea, St Michael's Graveyard, Cambusnethan

The site comprises a cemetery on the medieval location of Cambusnethan Parish Church and churchyard, in use until around 1650. The rectangular cemetery has been levelled and raised, with a collapsed rubble boundary wall and an entrance on the north wall. Within the cemetery are three adjoining, ruinous and roofless, rectangular-plan burial enclosures arranged in an L-shape, incorporating stonework from the medieval Cambusnethan Parish Church.

The south enclosure dates from the mid-18th century and is a single-storey, three-bay, rectangular-plan mausoleum in a classical style, attributed to Coltness. Its south elevation is diagonally droved yellow sandstone ashlar, featuring a lugged, architraved and corniced doorway in the centre, flanked by blind windows. A rope-moulded panel above the doorway is inscribed 'Coltness', and is flanked by blind attic windows. The gable is ruinous and the returns are blank.

The north enclosure, likely dating from the mid-19th century, is a single-storey, three-bay, rectangular-plan mausoleum built of droved yellow sandstone ashlar. Its principal elevation features a wide central opening flanked by blind windows, with blank returns above the wallhead.

The west enclosure is rectangular in plan and ruinous, with only the base course remaining.

The churchyard is the remnant of the original Cambusnethan Parish Church, founded by St Nethan in the 8th century and later named St Michael’s before the Reformation, when the church was moved to the village. The site is close to the location of the original Cambusnethan House, originally belonging to the Baird family in the Medieval period and later passing to the Stevensons (Lockhart of Castlehill) in the 17th century. The mausolea were built following this move and represent estates resulting from the original Cambusnethan Baird lands being broken up, including the Belhaven's of Wishaw, the Stewarts of Coltness, and the Lockharts of Castlehill. A separate mausoleum, associated with the Belhaven and Stenton families, is listed separately.
