What is recorded here

Kilpatrick Grave Yard is a rectangular stone enclosure in County Kildare holding modern markers but no church remains. The name preserves the memory of Patrick’s church, yet even early nineteenth-century witnesses could point to no wall, threshold or roof line. What was built there has vanished completely, leaving only the dead and the shape of the field behind them.

The OSL (Herity 2002, 32) record that, 'There is a grave-yard … in which, I am told, there is no part of a Church remaining'. A rectangular area (dims. L c. 50m NE-SW; Wth c. 40m) is enclosed by a stone wall and contains mostly modern gravemarkers. There are no visible traces of a church. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
