The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a late-medieval church (LF008-035----). This large irregularly shaped graveyard (85m E-W; 50m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall topped with iron railings on the E side, facing onto the main street of Newtownforbes village. Access is via a gate in the E wall. Memorials mainly date from the 19th and 20th centuries but some inscriptions are illegible. The graveyard is still in use. A 17th-century headstone (LF008-035002-) lies to the S of the church.
