Not marked on the OS maps, this site, recorded by Henry as a ‘cellurach’ (KE088-034003-) (1957, 105), is locally known as a church site. It is located on the same slope as KE088-029004-, approximately 320m to SW. The features noted in it by Henry are difficult to identify because of its overgrown nature and the large amount of field clearance debris deposited within it. She recorded a slightly corbelled circular hut (KE088-034002-) , 18 feet (5.5m), in internal diameter, with walls 6 feet (1.5m) thick and an entrance defined by upright slabs. A stony spread, c. 12m in diameter, now occupies this position. Directly above this spread, to N, is a 6m length of wall which is locally reputed to be the remains of a church (KE088-034001-). The wall is very overgrown, but it is c. 1m wide and one of its faces features slabs set on edge.
