River bank walling
There was a Romanesque church at Hassendean dedicated to St Kentigern, the vestiges of which were drawn by Archibald Rutherford in 1776. The church was suppressed in 1690 and part of the church pulled down following this. Rutherford’s drawing showed it as primarily Romanesque in construction, with two chancel arches. These ruins, along with the churchyard were, however, destroyed by a major flood in 1796. The site of the church is thought now to be about the middle of the river or near the opposite bank. Built into the river bank wall are stones believed to have been reused from the church.
