What is recorded here
Kilbride holds a circular raised graveyard forty-two metres across on the edge of a valley, possibly the remains of an early ecclesiastical enclosure. The land rises like a shallow bowl, shaping prayer and memory before any building remained. People may have walked that curve for generations, marking death and devotion in soil rather than stone.
The church of Kilbride is located in a circular raised graveyard (L 42m, Wth 30) on the edge of a valley. This may be the remains of an early ecclesiastical enclosure.
