The simple rectangular kirk in the grounds of Castle Forbes dates from the 17th Century but it was presumably abandoned when the replacement Keig kirk was built in 1835 about 500 m to the north west. It is now a roofless ruin returning to nature, but it still merits a B-listing (LB9055: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB9055 ). There are some simple memorial plaques to members of the Forbes family, who have owned the land since the 12th Century.
