What is recorded here

Kilbride holds two churches in one breath: a medieval ruin and a modern rectory for St. Brigid. The old walls may have stood before the present building, while the new church and graveyard continued the same local faith. One is loss, the other is still life, and both belong to the same small place.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEDIEVAL CHURCH (in ruins); MODERN CHURCH & GRAVEYARD: RECTORY OF ST. BRIGID'S. Recorded period: MODERN; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Medieval church, 12th to 16th century; the site reflects the long-standing religious and community significance of St. Brigid's in rural Irish and Northern Irish history.
