There has been a church on this site since at least the 11th century, possibly as early as the 7th century. The remains of St Congan's Church and the surrounding graveyard are situated at the southern end of the town of Turriff. Large ornamental iron gates lead into the church grounds from the town. The exact date of the church is unclear but it is thought to be mostly medieval with a slightly later choir at the east end. It fell out of use after the new, larger parish church of St Ninian's was built in the late 18th century, and it gradually degenerated into the roofless ruin it is today.

There is a new cemetery in Balmellie Road, Turriff.
