Ecclesiastical site in Kilcock — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilcock means Cell-choca, the monastery of the 6th-century virgin Cocha. She may have stood beside a shallow river, teaching children to pray while geese argued on the bank. The medieval church and graveyard still mark the place, though the original cells have vanished. Cocha does not need a grand statue; she lives in the name, repeated like a prayer each time someone speaks the town.

According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 389), 'Cell-choca, the monastery of the 6thC virgin Cocha (Chuaca)' was located at Kilcock. No visible surface trace of the monument survives, but a later, medieval church (KD005-002001-) and graveyard (KD005-002002-) may occupy its site.
