17th and 18th century. Small cemetery to NW of main cemetery.
Monuments include: tabletop with moulded cornice to slab supported by 3 moulded pedestals, inscription commences 'Janet Steven spouse of Robert Wood who died 1771'. Low, flat-coped ashlar enclosure of 'Peter' family, with 3-stage obelisk to NW wall. Inlaid slab to SE at 2nd stage commemorating 'John Peter 1808-1814'.
Gravestones predominantly classical with some older simple moulded apex stones, including 1798 headstone 'Erected by Thomas Berwick Shipmaster Dubbiesaide'; 1821 stone 'Erected by David Martin Kirkland', and 1820 stone 'Erected by William Irvine of Methil Mill in memory of his father James'.
Methilhill was an old mining village where, from 1924, the Wemyss Coal Company built a great number of modern houses to which the County Council have since added. The NSA mentions (as an antiquity) a 'Popish Chapel' at Methil-mill. The foundations of Old Methil Church, thought to date from 12th century, were uncovered during cemetery excavations.
