Heritage listing

Date Added 29/01/1993 Type Ecclesiastical: church Local Authority Aberdeenshire Parish Fetteresso NGR NO 85290 85661 Coordinates 385290, 785661 — The monument consists of the remains of the former parish church of Fetteresso which was dedicated in 1246, and remained in use until the early 19th century. The ruined church is likely to overlie the remains of the church of St Ciaran. The church is situated in an old graveyard in the hamlet of Kirkton of Fetteresso. It was originally rectangular on plan and measures 26.6m E-W by 6.8m N-S, over walls 0.8m thick. The church underwent modification in the 17th century and a N projecting aisle was added in 1720. The walls of random rubble masonry stand to wallhead level. All the openings are blocked apart from a pointed-arched doorway in the N wall towards the W end. There have been three entrances and six windows in the S wall. The area to be scheduled is rectangular, extending 3m from the exterior walls of the church and measuring a maximum of 32.6m E-W by 17.6m N-S, as shown in red on the accompanying map.
