What is recorded here
Kilbreedy’s ruined medieval church still stands inside a square graveyard bounded by a post-1700 stone wall. The wall encloses about 42 metres north to south and 49 metres east to west, with a gate at the south edge. A smaller enclosure marked Logadoon lies just beyond the church and graves. The place is not a forgotten pile of stones; it is a shaped container for death, memory and the continuing life of a local community.
The medieval church ruins (LI048-007001-) of Kilbreedy stands in centre of graveyard which consists of a roughly square-shaped area (approx. dims. 42m N-S x 49m E-W) enclosed by post-1700 stone wall with entrance gate at S. Enclosure (LI048-008----) annotated 'Logadoon' lies immediately S of the church and graveyard.
