The Church of St Thomas (1912) is located in Cowshill, and is the parish church for Heatherycleugh parish.[4] Bridge End Cottage is notable for being a 17th-century Bastle house, and is a Grade II listed building.[5] The Cowshill War Memorial commemorates the seven men from the area lost in the First World War and three who died in the Second World War.[6]
Burtree Ford was once considered a separate village, now considered as part of Cowshill, but its name is still apparent in Burtree Farm, and Burtreeford Bridge, over Killhope Burn, and the former Burtreeford Mill.
