In rough hill grazing, in a hollow on a NE-facing slope, on Bear Island. A linear arrangement (L c. 7m) of stones beside a rocky ridge on the NW side of the hollow is, according to local tradition, the remains of a church and is also believed to have been used as a mass-rock. The site is known locally as 'Láthair Séipéil' [the place of the church]. (O'Sullivan 1992, 55)
