What is recorded here

Settlement deserted is a settlement deserted (medieval) in Kilbride North, County Waterford, Ireland. Power (1895b, 137) described possible traces of early and extensive occupation near the ruin of St Bridgid's church, consisting of mounds and lines of earthwork enclosing square spaces. An ancient road leading in a northerly direction could be traced for some distance between its earthen ramparts according to that account, but these features are not visible at ground level where clearance cairns are present.

Power (1895b, 137) describes a possible deserted settlement as follows: 'Close by the ruin [St Bridgid's church; WA017-050001-] are traces of early and extensive occupation in the shape of mounds and lines of earthwork enclosing square spaces. An ancient road, leading in a northerly direction, can be traced for some distance between its earthen ramparts.' These are not visible at ground level and there are clearance cairns at the site.
