According to local tradition there is the site of a church in the small plantation to the S of St Sairs Market Stance (NJ 631 326). About 1850 the turf-covered footings of a rectangular building were visible but this has been destroyed by quarrying.

No trace. The quarry is at NJ 6310 3261. The name St Sair is possibly derived from St Serf. St Serf's Church almost certainly stood in Culsalmond kirkyard. (See NJ63SE 1).

Nothing is now visible of this possible church, and its site may have been subsumed into a quarry early in the 20th century. That quarry, which is now filled with stone clearance, is situated in a cultivated field 330m NW of St Sairs farmsteading (NJ63SW 98).
