What is recorded here

Kilpatrick in County Meath keeps a rectangular grave yard where earthen banks still mark the edge of a medieval parish. The derelict Church of Ireland building stands inside that old boundary, its east wall holding an effigy and its tower preserving a tomb fragment. People may have walked this lane for centuries, past the cross-slab and buried names, before the church fell silent and the grass took back most of the shape.

The site of the medieval parish church of Kilpatrick (ME012-016----), now called Castletown Kilpatrick, is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m NE-SW: c. 55-70m NW-SE) defined by earthen banks, with a masonry wall at W where there is an access lane. The effigy (ME012-016002-) is built into the E wall of the present Church of Ireland church, which is now derelict and the fragment of a tomb-surround (ME012-016003-) is built into the church tower. The cross-slab (ME012-016004-) is W of the church. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 11 December, 2014
