    Unfortunately, nothing much is known about St Theriot. He is patron saint of Fordell in Fife but, other than that he is an unknown saint. He may have been a follower of St Fillan of Pittenweem, an 8th century Pictish saint ? St Theriot's feast-day is 20th July.

The site is really hard to access, being at the top of a steep hill covered in trees, and with no accessible paths to it. Should you manage to get there, it's worth the effort.
