What is recorded here

Kilbride church and graveyard stood in County Down during the medieval period, marked still by a cross-carved stone. Whether the stone marked a doorway, a grave or a warning, people shaped local belief around it. The missing building does not erase the act of carving; it preserves the moment when faith became visible in stone.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH & GRAVEYARD (site of), with CROSS-CARVED STONE: KILBRIDE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
