Kilpatrick Church (Site of)

This church site was located on an E-facing slope of rising ground overlooking a river with a nearby bowl-barrow (TN031-071) to the SW. The OS Letters describe the site as consisting of the wall-footings of a church which measures 5.7m N-S by 12m approx. E-W with a wall thickness of 1m (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 7). Described in the OS Namebooks (1840) as a children's burial ground (TN031-070002). No visible remains at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
