What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in a level landscape. The parish church of Kilbride (ME045-025----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m NE-SW at SE to c. 65m NE-SW at NW; c. 40m NW-SE) defined by masonry walls. The headstones date generally from c. 1800 to the present. All the headstones have been recorded (Moore and Kenny 1977) and some have dates as early as 1701, but the recumbent slab commemorating Rev. Robert Ford, parish priest of Dunboyne who died in 1609 (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 193) is not identified. Cogan (ibid. 191) also says that two ornamental crosses disappeared from the graveyard c. 1830.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME045-025001
